Around Mexico City

Without any plans, I spent the majority of the day walking around Mexico City. Since I was not able to fly off to Flores to visit the Mayan ruins, I explored the areas of Centro Historico, Roma Norte, Juarez, and Polanco. A few photos below.

No Flight to Guatemala

As instructed, I contacted the airline this morning to find out if a seat to Flores, Guatemala had become available. But much like the day before, I could only get a confirmed seat to Guatemala City. Rather than take my chances in Guatemala City, I opted for a refund. I will now spend the remainder of my travels in Mexico.

Unexpectantly back in Mexico City

By now, I had hoped to be sitting on a roof terrace on the island of Flores in Guatemala. Unfortunately, the airline had a different plan!

After arriving at the Benito Juarez Airport in Mexico City I confirmed that my flight to Flores had indeed been cancelled. The airline offered to fly me to Guatemala City (notorious for violent crimes against foreigners) and put me on standby to Flores. Based on my poor Spanish and the airline clerk's equally poor English I discovered that the Guatemala City to Flores flight is completely booked, the first empty seat is Saturday. Although I am often up for an adventure, Guatemala City is one that I will tackle another day. My new plan (as of 10 minutes ago) is to stay in Mexico City. I have no absolutely no plans, however, have no doubt I will find all sorts of things to do.

Guatemala?

When I went to sleep last night I anticipated taking a bus from Puebla to Mexico City and then a flight to Guatemala on Wednesday. When I awoke, I discovered through email that my flight to Guatemala has been "cancelled for the day". I am not sure exactly how this will influence my trip to Guatemala? I am going to have to give my broken Spanish a challenge when I call the airline to understand when the next flight is scheduled.

Who knows ... Guatemala might have fallen off this travel plan!
