Coyoacan

Our second Uber driver also got lost - this time with a great result passing by a musical instrument market by the roadside. Mitch was beside himself and our driver kindly agreed to stop so Mitch could have a look at the second-hand guitars. He didn’t buy any but was in heaven just looking.

Then onwards to the colonial town of Coyoacan - previously the external capital of Spain following its colonisation.

Charming and busy - the central plaza which boasts a public garden teeming with families enjoying the Christmas Day sunshine.

We were hungry and wanted to eat sitting down- the only restaurant that fit the brief (in a town surrounded by street-food carts) was an Italian place.

After lunch we wandered the square and explored the local artisanal market before heading back to Mexico City.

It’s our last night here - a very early start tomorrow to head to the airport to start our Cuban adventure.Okumaya devam et
