Mexico City

---

I have arrived safely!

I had a lovely 24 hour day of travelling yesterday with I think in total about 13 hours flights and 7 hours sitting around various airports. I spectacularly managed to lose my passport wallet in the check in queue at Heathrow and with it my yellow fever certificate, which means getting into Panama later could be a problem (but hopefully not). The one thing that kept coming into my head on the flight was Airplane quotes (so I was chuckling along to myself about drinking problems and not calling people Shirley) and COR how the Americans love feeding you. Having never been Transatlantic before I don{t know if its the norm or not (that was the apostrophe button but its not working so ill ignore them) but I had two meals out to JFK, one more down to Mex City and to top it off a MaccyDs in the JFK terminal.

Arrived at 11pm Mexican time which is 5am British time, and had a lovely taxi ride to my hostel where I crashed out til morning. Took a little walk around the city this morning, and taken some pictures of a big flag, before having a look round a museum on instruments of torture which made me feel a little sick. Oh and also bumped into some Jehovahs who wanted to show me a magazine in French, and ran away from someone mid shoe-shine.

Hopefully going to see some pyramids tomorrow and will try and put some pics up later in the week. Current plan is to head down to Oaxaca on Monday.
