Back on the road this morning, we decided to go by ourselves, as everyone was grumpy about the bad directions, and we felt we had a better than even change to find our way without poor leadership.

We turn into Puebla’s vast bus station at 9 pm, a mere half hour late because of traffic jams and I join the small queue for the authorised taxis. ...
