Not so scary Mexico City

Day 114

Maybe we are hardened travellers by now, but after so many warnings about safety in Mexico City we have been really pleasantly suprised to find it a friendly, clean, and easy to navigate place. Best of all is the super efficient and cheap metro (underground) which surpasses London in every concievable way.

Have spent several days enjoying the numerous parks, impressive buildings, and the fantastic Diego Rivera murals dotted around the city. We also took a day out to visit the pyramids of Teotithuican. Less spectacular than the other ruins we have seen the scale of what is thought to be the largest single Meso American settlement is truly outstanding.

All in all we are sad to be leaving the Spanish speaking world behind (at least for now) but looking forward to an incongrous bit of glitz and glamour in Hollywood!
