Translation of palpable in German

Anyway, when we came back to the hotel the doorman asked us how the game was and we replied that we rather would have seen our team winning and that a draw has always something disappointing.
We cursed our bus driver and tour guide and everybody knew that these people were not professional. After 2 hours we arrived at the destination. It was a little boat station on a riverbank.
The same afternoon (October 4) we took a flight to Arequipa, spearing a bus ride of 12 hours. Due to heavy winds we had a delay of 2 hours. We took off at around 4.30pm.
