Holiday Inn Ciudad De Mexico Mexico City

... a million people were crowded together waiting for some light show. It took 20 minutes for us to fight our way accross the square to the restaurant we were going to for dinner. When we got to the restaurant, I noticed it was right next door to the next tube stop down the line. Hmmm. Diego then went to great lengths to explain the difference between a tour leader (which he is) and a tour guide. Basically, a tour guide knows some useful information and a tour leader doesn´t. <br><br>Our ...

... You can make baskets, needles and thread, clothes, medicine, drinks, food, etc etc. It´s kind of all **** really, but the list is quite extensive, cactus is the Mexican swiss army knife.<br><br>We finish with visit to Teothihuacan which is known as the Avenue of the Dead, we all climb the spectacular Sun and Moon temples. I am glad I had the chance now, while you can, to climb them before someone falls ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... gezichtsmaskers uit. Toch wel een akelig gezicht om de mensen zo te zien rondlopen. Daar zaten we dan..ons lang verheugd op onze 4 weken vakantie en nu niet de deur van ons hotel uitkunnen zonder het risico te lopen van besmet te geraken. Maar niet geklaagd, de eerste dag brachten we door met An, Joël en de kinderen en ...

... square and with protesting here in Mexico comes the big guns which i mean literally the federalis dressed in fatigues carrying big machine guns,this is something that i have observed throughout Guadalajara that everywhere u walk there they are and look up there they are on the roof or the corners or in front of a store etc.Today there is more of the big guns about. I know its something that i will not be accustomed to even though they are there for our ...

... bustle of the city and also where the execution of the spanish inquisition once took place! After we had seen visited the 'Hericiclo A Juarez,' a white marble statue which built in 1910 symbolises the centenary of independence, (independence seems to be marked everywhere you go in Mexico City!), treating ourselves to a posh coffee (probably our last at this rate on our budget!) we headed back to the hotel and sat chilling with an ice cold bottle of Corona, just ...

Today was a day for burgers and bloodsport! First, we set out to take in a repeat performance of the awsome Carl's Jr. hamburgers we first tried in Veracruz. However, after walking 3 miles from out hotel, we arrived at 52 Florencia only to discover that it has been turned into a McDonald's! Tired and frustrated, we ...

... see in a week (we managed to get to 11 galleries/museums). When the week was over, we retrieved the van and spent some 90 minutes (and $20 in tolls) circling the northern edge of the city so that we could reach the ruins at Teotihuacan. Those who study these things are not yet sure who the inhabitants of Teotihuacan were. However, before its demise in about 650 AD, it was occupied by some 125,000 people. We arrived at the ruins early in the morning, before the ...

... very excited to plan my own trip and ride the subway. With the very happy mood, we reached Xochimilco smoothly. It took us sometime to figure out <br>where all the flower boats were. A man from the travel department was following us on a bike. When we reached the boats, they were asking us for 250 pesos when there was a banner which said 120 pesos. We knew we were cheated and Janet really had no interest to ride in ...
