The Big Smoke

After some difficulty arranging a train, plan or automobile out of Peurto Escondido, we settled on the night bus which we took last night at 19:40 and arrived in Mexico City this morning around 7:30. The night bus was pretty nice, very comfy recliney seats, weirdly our seats got changed and we think we may have been a little jipped as we ended up right by the toilets, but still it was the best bus we've had so far. Despite this sleep did not come easily partly because the driver was attempting to hit warp 10, often over speed bumps and we had the in ride entertainment of what we believed to be Sister Act 34 dubbed in Spanish followed by The Office dubbed in Spanish. I can't imagine The Office translates that well but good to see it travels.

We arrived safe and sound and following a slightly grumpy almost very unhelpful taxi driver made it to our hostel, which seems really nice. We have done a little exploring and on a whim we decided to go round the Spanish Inquisition Museum of Torture, it was an odd whim. We have also booked a tour to the slightly less grizzly Pyramid of the sun tomorrow, although it is Pre-Inka so will probably have some sacrifice involved somewhere!!!

That's it for now, off to the roof terrace bar to get our bearings!
