Hello #Hive friends and the @weekendexperiences community, we're already in the first weekend of September. This is my entry for the weekend topics proposed by @galenkp. I'll be answering question number 1:
Travel Problems: **What has been the worst taxi, bus, train, boat, or plane ride you've ever had? Explain.**
My mother and I live in different regions of the country and are many miles apart. The trip to visit her, if I take the bus, which is where I regularly travel, takes me between 15 and 16 hours due to the various stops the bus makes along the way. We pass through several cities and passengers get on and off at their terminals. For my trip, I leave in the morning and in the afternoon I arrive at the state where my mother lives, I rest and continue the trip the next day, from the Eastern region to the first part of my trip, although the road is a little long, it is pleasant because it passes through various cities and you can see beautiful landscapes and the bridge over the Orinoco River, then I must take another transport in which the trip lasts approximately 6 hours or even more.
I remember one of the longest trips was in the company of my son, several years ago, we arrived at the passenger terminal early and took the first bus that left at 7 in the morning, no later than 1:30 we should be at my mother's house, considering that it would last six and a half hours with the stop that is made to eat, but not everything was like that, because the bus had a fault and the trip that we thought would take us 6 and a half hours at most, lasted 11 hours, the bus moved slowly and regularly had to make stops which made the trip even longer, my son cried because of the heat and wanted to walk, also sitting for a long time caused his feet to swell, in fact I had to take off his shoes and put light clothing on him, several people who were on the bus complained about the delay, the driver explained that due to the bus failure, it was best to advance at a slow speed so we could arrive, when we were a few kilometers from reaching our destination, the bus crashed and they called the office of the transport line, they sent another unit, we made a transfer and finally arrived at our destination.

It was a truly exhausting trip. I arrived very tired, with pain in my back and legs. My son also arrived very tired. He is a very active boy who likes to play. Visiting his grandmother means running around and building sandcastles in the backyard. This time, it wasn't like that. He ate, took a bath, and went to bed. The next day, he woke up active, playing and spending time with his grandmother.
Curiously, on our return trip we saw the same bus at the passenger terminal where we had traveled previously, my son and I named it "morroco" when we were buying the tickets I realized it was the same one, as I did not know if the fault had already been repaired I preferred to wait for the bus to leave and although it was going to take an extra hour at the terminal to wait for the departure of another unit, I preferred to do it to avoid such a long trip again, after this bus left, we waited for another and the return trip was more comfortable, in approximately 5 and a half hours we were at our destination, it was a quiet trip and another thing that we also had on our return trip was that the bus had air conditioning and this made the trip more relaxing.

Blessings!
