Probably the bus did not had enough seats when we wanted to leave. Nobody spoke English and could tell us what was going on. Another girl translated for us! We had to wait for an hour for another bus to arrive. Furthermore the bus driver was very slow. Therefore we arrived at 23.30 at Palmeiras in stead of 20.15!!! No communcation at all.
