WE ARE HERE!!

Hola de Mexico City everyone!

After an agonising 12 hours spent at Gatwick wondering whether we'd make it on to a flight, we finally got plonked on a plane at the last minute and arrived at our hostel half an hour ago. We're sitting on the gorgeous rooftop terrace having had the obligatory free tequila shot (apologies in advance for any spelling mistakes) and supping on some sort of gigantic corona bottle while we write this. It's a lovely balmy evening and the view out to the cathedral is quite something.

Unfortunately, despite Mexicana's promises that our luggage arrived on the flight (they didn't tell us about) that left yesterday, the bags are still in Gatwick and may or may not be with us on Saturday or Sunday. If only we'd packed those malaria tablets in our hand luggage, not to mention essential other things like underwear and toothbrushes... All part of the fun, hey¿? Que sera....

There is an awesome trip to an active volcano tomorrow, but we are a little volcanoed out if truth be told and will probably need to go shopping for some essentials to tide us over for the next few days, but hope to get on to a city tour and have a good old snoop around this place. We can't believe just how huge Mexico City is. From the plane it looked like a giant selection of colourful pic n mix sweets - the houses are all different colours, with some really rundown looking places and some gorgeous old style buildings worthy of a photo or two - and it just seems to sprawl for miles and miles...

Well, enough delirious exhausted rambles for now, but it is just so nice to finally be here!!!

Bye for now,
