Tues 6th March
Teotihuacan pyramides today! Got there late afternoon when it was hot but quiet.
The Avenue of The Dead links the pyramids of the sun and moon. It's an epic site.
Hopefully bound for Oaxaca tomorrow. The pollution in Mexico City is starting to take its toll.
Fri 2nd Mar
Took the metro and then the light railway to the South of Districto Federal today and spent some time floating on the canals of Xochimilco. Another hot blue sky day. We were accosted by floating river shops and forced to buy cold bottles of Corona beer!
Thur 1st Feb
Anthropology Museum today. Thousands of years of Central American history in one afternoon.
Wed 29th Feb
Visited the Frida Kahlo's sites today.
28th Feb 2012
After another mammoth sleep we are finally out of hibernation and feeling human. Mexico city is amazing.
We took our first foray into the Zocalo tonight, well...last night!
Badly jet lagged and spaced out at 7000ft above sea level we were delighted to sample street Tacos and start ticking off Jo and Paul's list of city hot spots. We checked out Bar Opera for a Marguerita and Cafe Popular which could become a firm favourite over the next week, the coffee is served chino style, which was a revelation.
Its 6am Mexico time, I can't sleep a wink so i'm reading about the city online and dreaming of more Popular coffee!
We are staying at the Emporio hotel on the Reforma but we have booked Hotel Isabel in the Zocalo for the next 5 nights. There's enough to see in Mexico city to stay a month ; )
27th Feb 2012
It's been a long journey from Sydney, a 12 hour flight, 12 hours in Manhatten Beach area LA and a midnight 3 hr flight to Mexico. We we're falling asleep standing up towards the end.
Almost 2 days without sleep! Checked in and passed out for 8 hrs. It will take a few days to fix our body clocks. Looking forward to seeing the city!
