On Sunday we finally managed to properly sleep in 💤 And then met up with a childhood friend of Julia for brunch. It was nice to see her again and catch up 😊 Later we went to church and then the movies to see "The menu".

Monday was a public holiday (actually Sunday) to celebrate the Independence of Mexico. But luckily our mechanic worked and we picked up Ruedi with changed oil, a working backlight and windscreen fluid 🥰 Unfortunately he wasn't able to get the air filter and diesel filter but he said that they should be good for another few thousand kilometers. For the brakes we'll have to go to another place the next day. Carmen, Julia's sister, took us to a big park next to her former university where we had a great time chatting and walking around a little lake. In the evening we visited an aunt until pretty late.

Right in the morning on Tuesday we dropped off the van at a mechanic specialized on brakes. When we got home we watched the second half of the Mexico match against Poland. After just about 2 hours we could pick up Ruedi with completely fixed brakes and it felt soooo much better 😅 Then we made a quick stop at a Renault car dealership to figure out how to get the missing filters. We could do it there but the shipping of the necessary parts (filters) takes about 5 working days, which would've meant more than a week more. Also they didn't have any open appointments, so we decided to drive further and closer to the main center in Toluca.
Afterwards we started packing our sorted stuff back into the van and filled the water system. The first test ended up in water all over 🙈🥲 So we spent about two hours fixing the hoses and testing. Ultimately it worked at least 😅Read more
