Centro

Got up early and drove 2.5 hours through volcano land to the san salvador airport. Can't get enough of the beautiful landscapes in these countries. Off to mexico city for one day.

Scariest landing I've ever had. The pilot literally bounced the plane off the tarmac and back up in the air and got control of it and set it back down. There was no applause on this one :) I left permanent fingernail imprints in the upholstery

Stayed at hotel canada a block away from the cathedral. Wandered around and got some pictures of nice old buildings before sundown and then decided to see what mexico city had to offer in microbrews.

Found a really nice cerverceria on my walk but it was poor in selection. Then ubered to tiny Roma brewery and then walked a few blocks to Falling Piano brewery. This place was the real deal with all the giant kettles on location and a great selection (and a falling piano). From there walked a few more blocks to Yeccan. Fantastic beers and hung out with the owner Francisco for quite a while. They even closed the place for a staff meeting but let me stay for quite a while to chat with local Freddie.

Then made my way to the nearby trendy area of Condesa and bounced in and out of a few places before ending the last night of my trip. Nice way to finish itRead more

Today we travelled to Mexico City and arrived around 3am in the morning, so managed to grab a few hours sleep before breakfast, and a busy, jam packed day!... As we do and had pretty much relaxed for 2 weeks prior lol! 😁 As soon as we landed here (even though it was at night) we knew we loved it straight away and couldn't wait to get out and see the sights, eat the food and drink the local beverages... tequila if we're being mega tourists lol 😂 zach wanted to sleep longer but I knew we had to get out in the city, as we only have 3 days here, and we definitely realised we should have booked more time here! But we're coming back hopefully to get our flight to the land of Oz (maybe) . So we decided to do the free walking tour (as its good way to get to know the city and the tour guides always recommended places 😉) Centro is where we are staying, so it was a good meeting point infront of the cathedral about 20mins walk away. On the walking tour Javier took us around the streets of the Historic centre with its many gallery's, museums, aztec archialogical ruins, Spanish inspired architecture (mixed with Spanish designs and even chinese decorated tiles). We also visited some good street food vendors, to see the way locals eat and its around £1 each for a huge filled taco with any meat you like, refried black beans, guacamole, chillies, picante sauce.. If you feeling brave 😏😤🔥 and the traditional white crumbly cheese topping! (they also have blue coloured tacos if you fancy it!! 😮) There is soo much history to explore here in Mexico City, its truely overwhelming but amazing. There is around 150 museums just in the city, so we definitely need more time here 😁😍Read more
