At last ....Mexico

Well after months of waiting I am finally here in Mexico. They do say the destination is not important is the journey that counts and my journey is finally underway. Was expecting a hectic time - air travel wise but it could not have been easier. Took a grand total of 10 minutes to check into Manchester and only 15 minutes to go through the advanced secuity. The advancement being I had to take my shoes off! Flew into Madrid and had to wait for a connecting flight to Mexico City. It was two in the morning when we set off and the plane followed the night cross the atlantic. Was a total of 18 hours after watching the sunset in Madrid that I saw daylight again. I know who Icelandic people must feel. Word of caution if you are veggie don't be surprised by the food you serve you on Ibera airlines. For dinner I got a portion of warm chick peas and a side portion of cold pickled artichoke hearts. For breakfast I got mushrooms, asparagus and artichoke hearts (again). Breakfast would had been nice if it was warm but it was served cold. It was a strange taste sensation. Needless to say I was rather hungry by touchdown but all this was forgotton when I tasted the refried beans in Mexico City. Bliss
