Weekend in Veracruz
... to accept it as normal now! The buses here are very good; with plenty of leg room, air conditioning, toilets and movies. This bus also had extra channels where you could listen to music as well!

Manatee Day

That group definitely had a better breakfast, and took nicer photos. Apart from a cleansing by the shaman/s, they had a facial mud pack.

City To Jungle

I got to see what Veracruz looks like from my room balcony on the 5th floor. I could see a bit of the Gulf of Mexico, albeit hazy. The city looked fairly flat and homogeneous without prominent high rise buildings, perhaps by design. But the view was largely dominated by the sprawling shopping complex and World Trade Centre below. It was Sunday, and the timing and wifi signal were good for a Skype call home to let them see my sleepy look, the hazy sea view.
