Birdseye view of the town

It was hard to wake up after a broken night’s sleep- a bit of jetlag and everyone coming down with a cold..

The breakfast room is absolutely charming- on the 6th floor of the hotel overlooking the Plaza. The sky was blue and the sun shining so although the air is super cold it’s a beautiful day.

Mitch went out on an adventurous limb and had corn in his omelette - which he declared ‘alright’.

And then it was onto the hop-on-hop-off bus to tour the entire city and understand the layout. We are staying in the charming old section of the city, and the kids were very surprised to see the wide - and very clean avenues lined with modern office towers. They were not too inclined to dismount because even the very fashionable area of Condesa ‘doesn’t feel very Mexican’. They are looking for authentic.

Halfway through the bus tour, Mitch fell asleep- struggling with his head cold that was getting progressively worse.

Once we returned to the hotel, he went straight to sleep.Läs mer
