I wake up the next morning with a cold, coughing all the time.
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
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.
