Berlin to Puebla

Relaxed morning, train to airport, flight to Amsterdam, sushi for lunch, and a looong flight to MEX. At Benito Juarez airport I picked up cash first. The first ATM wanted to charge me insane amount of monet for a withrawal, but the second one was OK. I downloaded some cash and ordered an Uber directly to my Puebla accommodation. I was quite a challenge, as the pickup point was farther away from where I was originally, then the first driver cancelled my trip right after getting into his car, saying it's too far for him and he might have to come back empty. I get that. The second driver accepted finally and we started driving. One small stop at a tire shop in the one of the barrios, then looking for an open gas station, bathroom break, stuff like that. Nice fella, but his car couldn't drive faster than 70 km/h. Well, it had 326k kms in it, but it made the drive quite long: about 3 hours. I arrived at the accommodation around midnight.
Parts of the drive was quite on a high altitude.
