Mexico Day 70 - 75 - Mexico City

After a quiet weekend relaxing and walking around our local area we settled on Mercado Roma on Sunday for some drinks before visiting Tandoori on our way back for our first Indian in a long while which was actually delicious!

On Monday once Gem had finished work we headed over to the Freida Kahlo Museum which was interesting. The design and layout had been set up to show how she lived day to day as well as her artwork, and the grounds that she lived in had the nicest gardens. From there we explored Cuyocan the local area which was basically a little village of its own in city - we found a nice rooftop terrace for a drink before heading home for some takeaway sushi!!

And on Thursday we decided to try and cycle around the huge Chapultepec parks - we hired some of the local Eco Bici's and set off. The first part of the park was fine and really nice but with some roads and footpath closed getting to the next part of the park was an ordeal! We ended up pushing the bikes along pretty much a motorway before getting to a footbridge and by the time we made the other park we needed a break before the cycling!

This part of the park was even bigger and after stopping off at a waterfall we set off on a lap of the whole park before finding a cyclepath out of the park and away from the motorway that led us to a bay to return the bikes and a nice bar at the foot of a giant office block!Read more
