Waking up in Mexico would have been much better with a hangover. After a fitful night´s sleep on the world´s thinnest mattress at the infamous Hotel Texas, we were happy to make our way back to the airport hoping to make some progress toward our first long stop of Merida. Surprise, surprise, when we arrived back at the airport we were greeted by two more hours of paperwork (and yes, more stamps). Although, to be fair, we solicited some of it with our insistence on a multi-entry pass to Mexico.
Our plans to reach Villahermosa today were again foiled by tropic weather (on the plus side the temperatures were approaching 85 degrees and making us forget all about the snow in Albuquerque). So we opted instead for a shorter leg to Veracruz (click
here to see on Google Maps). The flight was smooth and for the first time we arrived at our destination in daylight. Veracruz immediately struck us as beautiful and inviting (and humid!). After checking into a hotel (this time with a real bathroom and towels), we went out to walk the pier and explore the city before dinner.
