Mexico Day 49 - 55 - Mexico City

We arrived into Mexico City on Saturday and were immediately pleased with our choice of accomodation, we are staying in Casa Decu which is a hotel in Hipódromo (an area of La Condesa) We are close to two big parks and have numerous bars and restaurants within a shirt walk.

After shaking off a bout of sickness by Monday I was better and whilst gem was working and I was out running laps of a 2km running route called Avenida Amsterdam. I found a Spanish language school close by and booked to start lessons. The first 3 lessons this week were an introduction to verb conjugation, which turned out to be a massive introduction to the size of the task at hand!

We had some great sushi on a delivery one evening, though the pictures of the menu were definitely not to scale... The portion sizes were more suited to a kids menu but the food was delicious!

On the Friday I arranged to visit a speakeasy bar with the instructions to 'walk through a fridge in a taco restaurant' to enter - after walking up and down the same road and asking numerous people we eventually worked out the bar was shut!! It's even harder to find a speakeasy that's closed...

We were given instructions to try a place close by called Le Bistro and the ceviche here was great! We stayed for a few drinks after and then got a taxi home.Read more
