To elaborate a bit: the target IP address in the packet (Network Layer) never changes. The MAC address (Data Link Layer), on the other hand, changes at every hop - both the source and destination MAC address change every time the packet comes across a router (the source MAC address is set to that of the router's, the destination MAC address is set to that of the next hop).
