Mexico City Part III

Day 395.

A short and sweet post for our final leg in this city, predominantly due to our combined exhaustion from the previous few weeks exploring this mammoth place!

After saying goodbye to Laura we moved to our 3rd and final hosts in this city (and by far the best yet). Two young architects, keen travellers, great cooks and living in an apartment decorated exactly like we'd have our own!

Spent the first evening sharing dinner with our host Tania and discussing tips from their recent trip to Patagonia! Great food although this really highlighted our recent trend of eating big (and fast) I blame L'il cesears.

Our last big event on the to do list was a night at the famous Lucha Libre wrestling, so when Friday rolled around we were certainly ready. Putting money to the side for one evening we returned to La Coyoacana, the Mariachi Tequilla bar - and for once didn't hold back.. . Our waiter free pouring our choice of Tequilla with Mariachi live in the background was Mexico all over for us! Also now we are regulars we only had to wait a mere 40 minutes to negotiate our way inside time - not bad.

We might have started the evening like this but it wasn't long before we were buying bottem shelf tequilla from the local gas station or sipping on unlabelled bottles of Mezcal in the local cantinas, the High life could only last so long after all..

Mask on and giant beer in hand we found our seats amongst the lively crowd, ready for a night of wrestling entertainment, to my surprise even limbster was loving it, couldn't hold her back from jeering at the wrestlers on queue!

Hadn't banked on the 25 minutes of surprise midget wrestling, we weren't quite sure how to take this but decided to immersive ourself and go with the crowd on this one. I had honestly expected another James Bond Premier moment from Limbster on this one but she more than turned up and we left only wanting more.

It's been a while since we have experienced a true hangover but Saturday was certainly one. I blame the gas station tequilla at 40p a bottle it can't have been great stuff. But in our cosy apartment we were more than happy to embrace it, only venturing out to the local art market of San Angel. I can't speak for Limbster but I certainly enjoyed myself!

Enjoyed a calm Saturday night out with Diego and Tania, totally tequilla free (strictly fancy Condesa coffee) which was exactly what we needed!

Forgot to mention, after much effort and discussion Limbster has finally acquired some new walking sandals, gracias adios. It may have only added to her heavy bag struggles but but that's a problem for another day.もっと詳しく
