Days 12 & 13 – Admin, flying and arrival in CDMX

Hello, good morning from #Mexico ! Finally we are here!! Blog posts can now resume.

I am going to skip over most of the details of the last 2 days but to sum it up Thursday was admin day – had to sort things out related to the flight buy an esim and wash clothes and get the photos and Vids put into canva for making reels later. Fun stuff. Not much else happened Thursday. Was an early one for the flight on Friday 

Getting up early Friday I set out for Madrid airport. Got there okay and it wasn’t too bad going through the motions. Morning passed by and we were soon boarded and on the way. I flew with@aeromexico who are a pretty good airline and would fly with them again. Flight was pretty smooth with 2 in flight meals and a few vino tintos but sadly I was not able to mong out on the plane so it would be a long one later.

Getting into #CDMX there was a queue but not too bad and soon I was through to meet my good pal Simon, El Gringo Mexicano – he’s actually a fellow taff who’s lived in Mexico for the last 25-30 years. I have agreed to meet me here for a few days to show us round and help with any culture shocks. 

We tried to sort an Uber but signal was shit so they bought a prepaid cab to our hotel. Driving through CDMX in rush hour felt like a combination of Naples and India with everyone trying to overtake and jump queues all the time. We got to our hotel all good and staying near the historic Part. We went out for some #tacos beers and tequila then turned in pretty early as the flight was taking its toll.

Tomorrow we explore CDMX and kick off the real day 1 of this adventure! See you tomorrow!!
