We left early to Villa Hermosa passing through Puebla for a quick breakfast on a side of the road – we had some beans, chicken, tortillas, potatoes in salsa and some pork stew – needless to say, everything was pretty good; a bit too spicy for my taste but good. We had to move a couple of times to another table because it began to rain pretty heavy for next few hours.
After breakfast not much to see, empty land, lots of rain and a car once in a while. One interesting thing (at least to me) was to learn the road rules… I kept seeing cars engaging the hazard lights to let us know that they were turning either right or left… or just to let us know their vehicle was coming to a stop soon – not a stop sign, just a stop… not sure. Another interesting road rule was that if you decide to pass a car or truck in front of you, make sure you have plenty of engine power; the other driver (which you are passing) will NOT slow down!... even if a car is coming the other way… so we found ourselves in a couple of tight spots at the beginning… specially with our slow 95 Montero… I have one more ‘road rule’ to share… when we drove through the cities or small (busy traffic) towns , the drivers were very, very aggressive; we were not expecting the driving will be like back home… but the rules were pretty much get out of my way or else… NO kidding!
Later that day, after a long drive we arrived at the Holiday Inn in Villa Hermosa, Mexico. Again the place was great, clean, free wireless internet access and save.
At Villa Hermosa we had dinner at the local Pizza Hut and Benningans.
Tomorrow we planned an early departure to Merida passing through Uxmal.
SCORES
Holiday Inn in Villa Hermosa (Villa Hermosa, MX) 
Hotel Holiday Inn was a good place to stay with reasonable prices, clean, hot water… it’s the Holiday Inn after all… So we gave the hotel three and half starts.
I guess if you like pizza and Benningans restaurant you will be fine. The places were nothing special, not bad, not great… just fine. – No complains.
