Mexico Day 56 - 61 - Mexico City

On Saturday we set of for Xochimilco (Little Venice) which everybody we had spoken to recommended. After just over an hour on a metro train and a tram we made it to the town. We hired the boat for 2 hours and after a quiet start we reached the M25 of the canal system which was packed with other boats full of locals and tourists drinking and other boats with mariachi bands taking requests! We stopped off at a couple of floating bars and after our 2 hours stayed on the boat a little longer to finish our drinks!

After taking a taxi past the impresive looking Estadio Azteca we spent the rest of the evening in a quiet bar near our flat!

After a lazy Sunday we headed out for a walk of the local area and settled on sushi for dinner (in the place.we had previously had our baby portion delivered from) the food and service was great but after a few Asahi beers and too many nice.dishes 'La Cuenta' was anything but great!

Through the week with gem working every morning I continued making progress with my Spanish lessons... We spent Wednesday evening at a local wine bar and on Thursday after a completely Spanish speaking visit to the barbers I was delighted and we celebrated with drinks, pizza and a game of cards on our terrace!Read more
