soon awake, we're going to find a bus to San Cristobal. We leave Ocosingo to the 90km that separates us from our next destination. The collectivos asking 40 pesos for the trip, the bus also but there is not now. It is odd that the price is the same, because the bus is more comfortable, but collectivos are faster and frequent. We see that the Mexicans are paying the same price as us. The isotopes, we are stressed out. We finally arrived in San Cristobal after 154 isotopes (and I'm not even exaggerating). The isotopes are bumps on the road made on purpose to force him to slow down (like what we have to service stations). They are much more efficient than ours.

We feel right now it is cooler here. We are more than 2,000 meters above sea level. We are looking for a room for a moment. We'll see a Hostel listed, but the price to 100 pesos a dormitory and a very cold welcome us to turn around quickly. We fall by chance on Hostal Don Luis on the street 5 mayo, a little north of 20 agusto. We have a double room with shared bathroom hot shower, kitchen, living room, wifi and all for 100 pesos for both. Okay, we moved.

The temperature in the evening and at night drops to 15C and blankets are welcome. We decide to enjoy a little of the freshness and stay a few days in the city. Around 14:00 we still entitled to a downpour that continued until late afternoon.
San Cristobal is a colonial city alive. There are plenty of taco vendors near parks and other food vendors of all kinds. The market is alive and prices for foreigners correct. It's odd not having to negotiate! We listen to the Mexicans and they traded little too, if the price does not suit them, they will just see the vendor next door!
We take this place before returning to heat. We are seeking a 2nd class bus to Campeche, but there seems to be making the ADO connection. Too bad, this is the first class. There is little time in Mexico and as this is the last leg of our journey, it will be a little less with our budget.
Bus San Cristobal Campeche costing 372 pesos for 12 hours by road and nearly 500km. The bus is Comfortable, from Peru, we had not taken a night bus!
Campeche was only a very short stop, we arrived in the morning, we spent one night then the next morning starting with a stop in Merida Uxmal. The city of Campeche has charmed little, narrow streets are pretty and colorful but not enough to detain us longer.
