    A day in Puebla

    October 2, 2017 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    We had a sleep in, breakfast at the hostel, then a takeaway coffee sitting in the sun at the local park. We had a look at the large Cathedral next to the central square. It was very impressive! After we walked to the Museum Amparo which had a lot of ceramics and paintings. The museum had an amazing rooftop with views around to all the nearby churches. We had a vegetarian buffet lunch with lots of food for Zoe! We had a look in some shops before it started raining really hard, so we stopped for mezcal cocktails. We had a look in a street market, the artist street, the lollies streets and then wandered up to look where all the tunnels were. It was closed but we looked carefully through the windows. The security man kindly invited us in, chained the door behind us, grabbed his baton as he led us into the underground caves. I was slightly terrified as was reading the book Room at the time. He didn’t try to kill us, rather showed us a nice tour of some of the underground cave systems. We left excited to be alive and happy that we saw some of the caves. We then walked into town and had roof top drinks with views of the square. After we found a restaurant for some Mole! I ate enchiladas with chicken and three types of mole sauce. Tasted a bit like a curry!Read more
