Mexico City - WE'VE ARRIVED!!!

Haz and I are writing this at 11.30pm local time - or 5.30am UK time so apologies if it doesn't make sense! We finally arrived after a 11 hour flight - (did manage to watch 5 films though, pretty good going)... but the 2 hours of immigration control were slightly difficult, especially as Haz needed a seat half way through due to dehydration! It's ok though - she's fine - just went a bit green for a while.

So...... Mexico City - has a population of 18m people - whereas Australia has a total of 19m - so puts it into comparison really. The hostel is very friendly which is great, especially as our Spanish is non existent. We were very excited to realise that we got free breakfast AND SUPPER and FREE TOWELS at the hostel (although unfortunately they have very poor absorption properties...)

We ventured out to eat our first Mexican supper. Enchiladas, Quesadillas, Tortillas, Tacos... all with cream and cheese - we are in heaven here! Slightly challenging again with the language when they ask us questions, but we've made friends with a lovely girl called Birgit from Austria who has better understanding of the language than we do.

So not really seen much yet, we'll head out to explore tomorrow, hopefully see Frida Kahlo museum and Trotsky museum too (oh and become completely fluent in Spanish too!) before planning the next few weeks.

Just wanted to let you know that we're all still safe and sound, and will let you know how things are here when we discover them ourselves!

Muchos love (see our Spanish is improving...)
Ciao
