Ola!
we are in mexico city baby! we arrived ok,got here at about 4pm and it was a lovely sunny day so we took a stroll around the Zocalo Square where there are aztec ruins,the cathedral and the presidential palace,its all very grand and massive!!when we flew in this afternoon we flew right above the centre and its one impressive city,it just goes on and on as far as you can see and its all hemmed in by mountains-apparently drinking just one beer here has the same effect as drinking three back home as we are so high up at 1500m-now there is a fact I bet you didnt know!

luckily we were not as late arriving this time as in playa del carmen but we ve still done a bit of waiting around today as the plane got delayed by a couple of hours this morning-fingers crossed that doesnt happen tomorrow!

Both really impressed with Mexico city its a wonderful place and soooo much cheaper than rip off playa!,its completely not like you imagine it to be its beautiful,busy but clean and it has trees!-and the hostel we are staying at is amazing we get breakfast and dinner buffets in the rooftop cafe overlooking the zocalo square,free internet and a free 3hr tour and they picked us up from the airport!! tomorrow we are going on the tour and to sample some street fare as we saw some interesting food being sold this afternoon and we re dying to try it- then we are off to the airport at about 5pm to begin the long journey home-tonights not going to be a late one!

Anywho we are going to sit back now and enjoy the sunset, see you all soon!

lots of love,
