Around the city by taxi

I had to take a taxi only once when I had to go to the airport to find my lost suitcase. Our hotel was in the very centre of the city at Paseo de la Reforma. A driver of a taxi asked 250 Mexican pesos (about 12 USD) to get to the Mexico City International Airport. But another driver (not official) agreed for 150 pesos. It took us about half an hour in the way. I found my suitcase and came back by official taxi.
You can see my check on the picture. Don’t be afraid to see the price $240! They use the sign $ for Mexican pesos though 1MXN=12 USD, haha!

Flying over the Atlantic Ocean and Canada

I asked a seat at a window and so I was able to take a video about the flight. It was 24th of January and Sheremetievo was covered by snow. We had a flight over the Baltic Sea and we landed in Paris where wasn’t any snow like in autumn. Now I can say that I was in Paris four times in my life (three days in August 1995, a week in November 1995, three days in September 2003 and an hour in January 2011, haha!)
Then we crossed la Manche (the English Channel) and the British Islands. And for the first time in my life I crossed the Atlantic Ocean and found myself over America which I haven’t seen before… I watched Canada and the USA through the window and those were unforgettable impressions…
When we landed in the Mexico City International Airport it was our pleasant not very hot summer! And the adventure began!

Around the city by bus

I traveled in Mexico City with a tourist group that’s why I haven’t any problem with transportation from one sightseeing to another by a tourist bus. Every time we went from one place to another I was taking videos out of a bus window which remind me the city and help me to see details which I couldn’t see when I was there…
I wouldn’t say that traffic in Mexico City had been very difficult in comparison with Moscow. We have never been in jams and were able to reach every place rather easy and it was very convenient for us. Our bus had very unusual colors of a zebra and we could see it from a distance very well and distinguish from other buses.

Moscow-Mexico City via Paris

That was my longest flight I ever had – about 12000 km! We started early in the morning in Moscow (Sheremetievo Airport - SVO) by joined Aeroflot-Air France flight (Airbus-320) and landed in Paris (Charles de Gaulle Airport-CDG) to change the airplane for Air France Paris-Mexico City flight (Boeing-777).

It took us 3 hours in this flight. I had only 30 minutes in Charles de Gaulle Airport to get another terminal by local airport train. I almost run and was in time…
The second flight from Paris to Mexico City (Mexico City International Airport) lasted about 12 hours… It was rather difficult, but I was happy nevertheless.
