HI THERE

Arrived in mexico city last night after 17hours of flying and 10 hours of waiting in airports. THE HOSTEL I'D BOOKED INTO DID FREE AIRPORT PICK UPS WHICH IS A REAL BONUS, BUT WHEN I RANG THEM TO SAY ID ARRIVED i also told them I had a surfboard, and they said there vehicle wasnt big enough so id have to get a taxi. IT COST MEX$225 which is about nz$45 which I guess was a bit of a bummer, but I got let off the normal US$75 charge to put a surfboard on the plane from LA TO mexico. Anyway I was in the taxi for 1 and a half hours! It took the driver ages to find the hostel and it was hosing with rain so there were lots of traffic hold ups.

CRASHED OUT IN BED AT 2AM and got up today at 2pm. FOUND MY WAY INTO THE CEntre of town this avo. the metro system here is pretty good, but gets pretty packed. Have managed to keep myself feed and Hydrated. And becoming accutely aware that I need to learn some spanish fast.

the hostels pretty comfortable. willl prob stay here for afew motre days then head out to the coast. Have a bit of a plan of Museums etc to check out in next couple of days.


I{ll use this site to to regular blogs aswell as hopefully sending out some emails with some decent stories of adventures etc. So if u care to keep track of where I am and what I{m up to this is a good way. You can also leave messages or replys to each entry. And I will be uploading photos to this site when I get to that.

Adios Alex.
