We go to our crappy internet cafe to prepare going to Cancun. The computers are slow and everything is in Spanish. We need a: taxi-bus-taxi-bus-taxi and a hotel.
First bus 7 hours, second bus 13 hours, not from the same bus station in Mexico City and they do NOT connect well. Dr T finds a plane from Mexico City to Cancun in 2 hours, for 50 Dollar more, so plane booked. The bus to Mexico City does not work. The website is too complicated and Marina decides to call... . Woehahahahah!! After 10 minutes I have to give in and ask help: GRAAAAWL.
Can you imagine: we want to take the diamonte bus to MC BUT the diamonte bus station does not have the diamonte bus. Nor the same hours. We end up leaving from the wrong station, with the wrong bus at the wrong hour, Ah, well, ... .
After 4 (!) hours it is all done and I spend the rest of the day at the pool, my cold is getting worse.
In the evening we take a beetle to downtown and have a meal at the Carlos and Charlies a very cute chain of resto´s, will come back to it.
The beetle ride home is unbelievable, I did not think we would survive: craaaaaaazy. I close my eyes all the time. Nobody hears me coughing because of the loud music in the car.
Alarm clock at 06.
It is a dog´s life.
