We were staying in the Centro Historico so were able to walk to the main square (Zocalo) easily. It’s so impressive! We did a lap of the square and walked past the palace and the cathedral and few streets around. We found a street café doing tacos that smelled delicious. We ordered 2 beers and a taco each. The tacos were SO DELICIOUS that we ordered 3 more. We demolished them and ordered 2 more. My god they were good. I have obviously never had real Mexican food before, it’s incredible. I wondered whether sitting in the street we would get hassled a lot, but we weren’t really. Just a couple of beggars and a guy with a big head of hair & moustache with a guitar doing requests (he even had a list of suggestions).
The next morning we woke up at 5am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Not quite over the jetlag yet then. We couldn’t pick up the wireless from our room so went down to the lobby with our iphones. It was cold and the lights were off (the night porter wouldn’t put them on). Never mind, only 2 hours to wait until breakfast and 4 hours to wait until anything was open.
This morning was reserved for culture and we started with a coffee in a design museum. Then we went to the palace. The murals painted by Diego Rivera were amazing. The one above the main stairs depicted various events in Mexican history. We even spotted a Frida Kahlo lookalike.
