Was soo much cooler in the night last night, however I lay awake for about an hour and half because of a mosquito in the dorm, which kept dive bombing my ear. Also it didnt help when the light got turned on at various points in the early morning .. aah the joys of hostels.
After much difficulty I eventually managed to find the correct collectivo (mini bus), to take me to the Bus Station (they have a number of routes around town .. with all rides costing 6 pesos .. but no map to speak of), where I jumped on the first primera clase bus to Mexico City.
Must admit I was pretty nervous about heading here on my own .. it is a seriously big megapolis (around 22 million), but I managed to navigate out the bus station and onto the metro and within an hour was at the hostel.
City feels much more European than I imagined .. and a lot safer than I thought it would .. mind you I get the feeling you wouldnt want to take a wrong turn late at night.
Have seen some interesting sights already .. when I was wandering around I saw what appeared to be a mock exorcism .. complete with a man writhing on the floor in pain.
It seems the hostel offer tours to the Mexican Wrestling .. so I am very much looking forward to that on Tuesday .. plus the Wo* turns up tonight.
