Well yesterday we left the delightful Mexico City for Guadalajara. We were slightly unsure about getting a bus, not being able to speak the language but it was really easy. We just rocked up to the Prinera Plus ticket booth and got tickets for a bus that was earlier than expected.
The bus trip was really nice showing about 3 1/2 films, the first two of which were in English with Spanish subtitles which made it easier to watch. This made the time fly by and we were soon in Guadalajara.
My first impression of Guadalajara are that is much more modern and affulent than Mexico City. However the hostel is not so great! We booked using a website only to find nearly all the details are wrong - there´s no bar, no balcony and no restaurant as described. All the other details were just wildly exagerated still we´re backpackers so hey!
Well my trip to Guadalajara was slightly different as for the past couple of days we had been suffering from mild altitude sickness - not very pleasent, it consists of shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, headache etc.
Anyway we had to go up a few mountains before we finally started to descend into the valley, so I thought I was going to die, I couldn´t breathe and had chest pains. But it only lasted about an hour in total and have been fine ever since.
I was bored after the first film which was a hospital drama - I´m trying to switch off from nursey mode! But the journey went reasonably quickly.
Guadalajara itself is very nice and alot less polluted than Mexico City, the hostel however, is a very different story. But we´re only here until monday!
Off to Tequila tomorrow x
