What the hell was I thinkin'?Plus the drive into Mexico City is a winding road uphill for about 3 hours because of its high elevation. I don't think I've ever felt that sick again in my life!

If those buses rides are anything like in the movies...they must have been hell!Its been a long time since I took a bus inter-city in India (at least 8 years ago), but I think it was a 6 or 7 hour journey. We couldn't get the "deluxe" bus (it was full) so we had to go with the regular one - it SUCKED! It was also overnight, so here I was trying to sleep on a very uncomfortable seat, with no headrest, a bus driver zig-zaging his way through traffic, on a road filled with potholes! Oh, no AC to top it off, but that was one advantage of driving at night - it was slightly cooler!We learned our lesson - TAKE THE TRAIN!

vicman Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 in essence the moral of the story is: avoid the bus at all costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
