The bus left very late and arrived at Tandil very late. Also it rained on the road and the bus dripped water inside, wet my luggage

We already left late from Buenos Aires. Traffic leaving BsAs was bad but what really took time was the bad condition of the bus. We had to stop 3 times to add water to the overhearing motor. Moreover the bus went really slowly so that we took 7 1/2 hours instead of 6 hours!
