After lunch in Villahermosa, I started the engine from my rental car. And he went on with a little delay. So, I drove the remaining two and a half hours until I arrived in Palenque in front of the hotel. There I parked the car for the next two nights and booked a tour for the next day. I also went for a short walk in the city and enjoyed my dinner.
The onward journey to Mexico, Yucatan started early in the morning. The flight from Costa Rica was short and the border control went quickly. However, it took 2 hours to check the luggage. Extremely many people arrived in Cancun. I quickly found the place where I could pick up the rental car. I also waited about 1.5 hours there. Finally, I was able to take the VW Passat, my companion, for the next 2.5 weeks.
To cross Cook Street by ferry was comfortably. We soon arrived in Wellington in the middle of the city and drove to the hostel’s parking lot There we could stay for the next two nights. For dinner we found a small restaurant that served African food. The food was delicious and a huge portion. So, we could take the rest for the next dinner straight away.
After sleeping till late, we were a bit shocked by the gloomy red sky. The smoke from the bush fires of Australia blew right over. Nevertheless, my brother Andi and I walked up and down the mountain quickly. We later tasted wine at a wine shop. In the evening we enjoy the ride on the steamship TSS Earnslaw. When we arrived at a farm there was a delicious BBQ buffet and we could watch a sheep being shorn.
