Mexico Part 2

La llegada [Ed - apologies that this section of the blog is not written by an award winning national journalist, but by a Geographer - still the pics should be good]


Our first attempt to return to Mexico was thwarted by the baggage dispersal system at Heathrow (cue Monty Python song, "I'm so worried about..."). So we spent a day in the airport at a Yotel and dining at Cafe Rouge. Rosie's parents kindly accommodated us for an extra 2 nights (they even let Daisy stay too).

Finally on Friday 22 February we left Heathrow on BA243 to Mexico City.


We stayed at 'Hotel Aeropuerto' (you'll never guess where that is), then flew south with Aviacsa to Chiapas. It felt both good to be back and odd to be away from the UK while we have no home there and are selling a flat and trying to buy a house.

Daisy was her usual adaptable self in all our traveling - though she was a little thrown by the time change (6 hours), so we got to enjoy some very early morning singing from her. We stopped at Posada de La Vista (which indeed has a wonderful view of the city) while we searched for somewhere to stay for longer.


Rosie booked back into classes at Instituto Jovel and we began the round of catching up with people who we've not seen since 07.
