Deciding to escape Mexico City before visiting Mexico 2nd largest city was certainly a wise choice. Therefore we headed two hours out of town to a place called Tepoztlan, a small but picturesque mountain town.
The plan here was to do as little as possible, and the hostels garden was made for doing exactly that, lots of green, hammocks and facing right onto the mountains for sunset. After a break from Couch Surfing we finally had space, bed covers and even some pillows - it might sound simple but it was certainly a treat.
Day 2 I decided to trek to the top of the nearby rock, where there were still ruins of an ancient pyramid, plus great views of the city. Limbster decided to give this one a miss, hearing a little about the steep climb was enough for her to decide to stay put and set up camp on the outdoor sofa. It was indeed tough in the midday heat but the views alone where worth the sweat. Perching on top of the pyramid soaking up the views, at least until it was time to get back home and feed limbster.
I arrived back to find a relatively angsty Ellie, turns out 24 hours of pure relaxing (even in this setting) is enough to drive her crazy. But was nothing a little walk and enjoying a sunset at the end of the garden couldn't fix.
Short but sweet stay, one to come back to for sure.Read more
