the drive from Mexico City to Puebla

We'll be in Mexico City for a few days next January and I'm planning a day trip to Puebla (by bus). My wife and I will be traveling with my sister.

Here's my question.

What's the drive like from Mexico City to Puebla?? My sister freaks out on high, windy mountain roads and I want to know if she should take this ride with us or not.

Thanks in advance.

hi, right, the trip is not too windy, there is one windy bit near mexico city at edge of volcano, but then its pretty straight after that. The altitude is quite high anyway but no major precipices or anything. I think she should be fine. Sit on left side of bus, or she should anyway. Its a nice trip, and the food in puebla is great. Have fun

Thanks.

Do you mean she should sit on the left side of the bus on the way to Puebla, and on the right side on the way back?

hiya, no sorry, right on way there and left on way back, though it shouldnt really make much difference. hopefully you'll get views of the volcano which can be quite spectacular.
if you paste:http://local.live.com/?WIP=20&autolocate=true
onto your internet page
and then write in mexico city on the second line and you'll see the road between mexico and puebla, and how its windy at start and then straightens out.YOu should enjoy the ride. have fun.
