Central America: Mexico City


Mexico City is pretty much exactly how you would imagine it to be. After being in transit all day we arrived to the customs line, which was about a km long and full of every character you could think of.

Attempting to get a taxi when no one could speak or understand a single word of English bid difficult but we were eventually on our way to our hostel - Mexico City Hostel, in the heart of downtown Mexico. 

For our first day we explored the archeological site of ----, visited a farm and got educated on how to make Mescal, Tequila and woven blankets and enjoyed a full Mexican buffet with entertainment!  

The second day we were lucky enough to score a private tour of the town, visit the Frida Kahlo Museum and bask in the Mexican sun while enjoying Xochimilco - where the boats on the canal are just as colourful as the people! At night we made our way to a traditional Lucha Libre show, learnt some offensive Spanish words to chant with locals, and after 1 too many tequilas it was definitely a night to remember! 

Mexico City, you are everything an Aussie abroad could hope for when beginning their journey of Central America, arriiba!
