      Xochimilco y Coyoacán 🛶

      April 16 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Heute Morgen ging es mit dem Bus durch Mexico City zu verschiedenen Stops. Durch Universitätsviertel, Industriegebiete und vor allem die „Barrios“, was ihr wahrscheinlich als „Favelas“ aus Brasilien kennt. Also die höchsten Gebäude aus Glas, relativ modern und schön und einen Meter entfernt die Barrios. Erster Stop dann am Olympiastadion, nächster Stop in Xochimilco, wo man mit Trajineras über den Fluss schippert. Auf dem Fluss fahren dann die unterschiedlichsten Verkäufer neben dir (Schmuck, Tequila, Tacos, Kuscheltiere, Blumenkränzchen usw.). Auf dem Boot hat dann noch eine Mariachi Gruppe Guantanamera gesungen.
      Danach gings wieder durch den Verkehr von Mexiko nach Coyoacán. Ein kleines Künstlerviertel mit typisch mexikanischem Essen, super Eis und einem Markt, auf dem auch tätowiert und gepierct wurde 😜

      Wunderschöner Tag, aber anstrengend!
      Bei 33 Grad freuen wir uns jetzt dann mal aufs Meer! 🌊☀️      Read more

      Frida Kahlo Museum

      September 27, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Today we visited the Frida Kahlo Museum - the house she lived with her artist husband Diego Rivera (two houses separated by a bridge). It was fascinating to learn about her life including her health struggles - polio as a child, bus accident at 17 and subsequent suffering including miscarriage and leg amputation the year before her death at 47. Despite all this she managed to produce a body of work that continues to intrigue the world over to this day.Read more

      Xochimilco Gondola Ride

      September 27, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      After the Frida Kahlo museum, we ventured out to Xochimilco to take a gondola (trajinera) ride on the canals. They are often referred to as ‘floating gardens’ as you can buy flowers and other items along the canals such as a song from an xylophone player or mariachi band or a toffee apple. The canal system was an important part of the Aztec precolonial life and was made a World Heritage site in recognition in 1987.Read more

      Coyoacan walking tour pt2

      February 19, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      More of coyoacan quiet neighbourhood, before we got to the main square. Unfortunately we had cut the walking tour short, as we had to book out tickets in advance for the Frida Kahlo House, as its a real tourist attraction all the time 😅. But after visiting Frida Kahlo's House we revisited the main square in Coyoacan and had a small but yummy Mexican meal and made our own self guided tour before heading off for our flight to Puerto Escondido (yet another beach town in the south of Mexico😂😂) 3 days in the city and its all too much it would seem! We loved México City, and wished we'd have booked longer, so we can do alot more.... I'm not sure even a week here would be enough to see everything!Read more

      Coyoacan walking tour

      February 19, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      This morning we took an uber (of course so we could pack and have more sleep lol 😂) to the beautiful Coyoacan neighbourhood, home to the rich and the famous Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Apparently alot of famous stars of Mexican TV live in this area, and so makes since why it would cost around 1.5million dollors to buy just a small place here 😳😱 alot of people that live here though have had the houses in the family for generations, so that's how alot of normal people can afford to here too. The area has a very bohemian atmosphere with lots of small coffee, and cake shops with a beautiful town centre with alot of history around. We also took a visit to some of the gardens, which some are unnone to the mexicans visting the neighbourhood, as most tourist stick to the main centre of the town.Read more

      Coyoacan, Mexico City

      January 1 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      So after a long flight and a long day (6 hours longer than normal due to the time zones) we arrived safely in Mexico City. This is a mega city with a population of 22.2 million so we picked the quiet suburb of Coyoacan for our first two days to allow us to settle in.

      This area has a bohemian and hipster vibe with plenty of street entertainers, local food and markets and interesting architecture.

      The area is most famous for being the home of celebrated Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her husband the muralist Diego Rivera. We visited her childhood home where she stayed much of her short life. Called Casa Azul (blue house) it had lovely grounds and provided rich insight into her challenging life and the art it fuelled.

      We then went to the Leo Trotsky museum, the house where he lived in exile from Stalinist Russia, suffered multiple assassination attempts before he was eventually murdered (with an ice axe).

      We spent the rest of the day exploring the streets, market and did some birding in the local park. Because this is a new country for us most of the birds were brand new. Of the 18 species we identified 16 were life ticks. Highlights were the small Ladder-Backed Woodpecker and the brilliant red Summer Tanager.

      Tomorrow we are heading to Valle de Bravo for a few days (a 3 hour bus ride) to see the Monarch Butterflies.      Read more

      Frido Khalo musuem & home!

      February 19, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      We visited the much famed house of Frida Kahlo in the afternoon, she is such a big figure of influence here in Mexico, know for her amazing paintings, individually in her dress sense, personally and home. She also was a revolutionary woman not scared to explore the new and controversial decisions in her life. Despite her misfortunes in life she was always positive and strong minded throughout (she contracted polio when she was a young child, and this made one of her legs shorter, then while in high school she had a terrible accident involving a train crash where was paralised and bed ridden for 1 year, where she started to paint as a hobby before she could walk again! She later realised in her life because of the accident she could no longer have children and continued to give her pain throughout her whole life) She married the famous painter Diago Rivera who she lived with in the house we visited with its beautiful gardens, colourful and creative interior.Read more

      Eine Bootsfahrt, die ist lustig...

      March 1, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Im Süden von Mexiko City erstreckt sich das unter der Bevölkerung beliebte Naherholungsgebiet Xochimilco. Die engen Kanalläufe und unzähligen bunte Boote erinnern schon auf den ersten Blick an das deutsche Pendant. Die Ähnlichkeit zum Spreewald ist einfach verblüffend, nur auf mexikanisch. Geschäftig versuchen Bootshändler ihre Grillware an den Mann zu bringen und kleine Orchesterboote spielen für ein kleines Trinkgeld das ersehnte Wunschkonzert. An den Ufern säumen sich grüne Wiesen und blühende Gewächshäuser.
      Bei diesem schönen Wetter einfach ein Traum.      Read more

      A festival on water

      April 15 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      The first day of the trip with "boots on the ground" was spent floating through the gardens of Xochimil and its some 100 square miles of canals.

      According to Wikipedia, "Xochimilco is best known for its canals, which are left from what was an extensive lake and canal system that connected most of the settlements of the Valley of Mexico. These canals, along with artificial islands called chinampas, attract tourists and other city residents to ride on colorful gondola-like boats called trajineras around the 170 km (110 mi) of canals. This canal and chinampa system, as a vestige of the area's precolonial past, has made Xochimilco a Works Heritage Site in 1950,"

      With long-haul flights and missed connections, it was a great way to start the trip.      Read more
