Intro

16 days - incl. forth and back - to Mexico. Not much time, so I had to choose where to go and where not to go. "Lonely Planet" helped me on that matter, so I chose the cities of Mexico City, Oaxaxa and Puebla to visit. On the map you can see where they are.

The trip was great beside one thing, that also affects this site. When I got to Oaxaca I chose to put a finger through the more sensitive part of my camera when I was changing film. And then camera was kaput!. So I have got almost no pictures from Oaxaca, and that a bad thing. Just to make this site worth watching, I have "stolen" som pictures from other sites.

I bought myself a cheap camera in Puebla. Eventhough it was better than I thought, it's not exactly as good as my good old mate from Nikon - but you have to live with that.

Friday, February 27'th

It's a 1? hour flight from Billund to Amsterdam - and then a 10? from Amsterdam Schiphol to Mexico City's airport Benito Juares. I'm flying KLM and thats pretty good. Good movies and decent food make it a rather nice trip.

Arriving at Mexico City is just like I imagined. Absolutely chaos. Huge line to show them your passport, and all light in the customs-area is out, so all there is is a few torches.

Well - I finally get through, and finds myself a taxi. An authorised one, because in this town you have to stay away from anything else. Soon I arrive at Hotel Catedral and checks in at room 502. The hotel is booked through the Internet, and is very central in the Centro Historico-area. A single room is 345 Pesos a night, and is a great bargain.

Now it's either 8 in the evening - at least thats what the clocks tell me here - or 4 in the morning - that's what it is, if I compare with the time I had when I left. Honestly ...
