¡Esta ciudad es grande! Muy grande! And I like it. I arrived with ADO’s first class bus and took a taxi to my hostel. I am staying at the Mexico City Hostel which is right in the middle of the city, next to plaza Zocalo.

My first night I met up with Dudy from Israel - member of the Unbelizeable team - and we had some beers here at my hostel. We talked about what happened since we splited and about what we did. The next day we met up and together we went to the biggest museum I even been to!

Museo Nacional de Antropología

The National Museum of Anthropology, located in historic Chapultepec Park is truly big! It contains significant archaeological and anthropological artifacts from the pre-Columbian heritage of Mexico, such as the Piedra del Sol (Aztec calendar stone) and the 16th-century Aztec statue of Xochipilli. The museum has 23 rooms for exhibits and covers an area of 79,700 square meters, almost 8 hectares.

If you visit this museum, take a couple of days. I really mean it. I went walking through it reading maybe 2% of all the information and it took me easily 4 hours. And all that for only 51 pesos!

Museo de Arte Moderno

The second museum I visited was the Museum of Modern Art located near the Anthropology museum. It had 4 different exhibitions but I wasn’t really fan of what I saw.

Centro Histórico

This historical center is so big, it takes again at least a full day to walk around and see all of it. Luckely my hostel is next to Zocalo so all of it is close and within minutes I can visited the sights. On this plaza you will find the great Cathedral Metropolitana of which you can climb the bell towers, the Palacio Nacional and the Templo Mayor with its adjoining museum. Than there are all the small streets with great tall buildings.

Torre Latinoamericana

The ‘Torre Latinoamericana’ is one of the best-known skyscrapers in Latin America. For 50 pesos you can go up to the highest floor - 37 - and watch the city. Amazing to see the streets, the buildings, the parks and even the international airport.

Mexico City

What else can I tell you about this great city. I have been here 4 full days - 1 day I have been outside the city to visit Teotihuacan containing some of the largest pyramidal structures built in the pre-Columbian Americas - and it not enough. There are so many museum I haven’t seen yet, so many plazas still to walk through, so many religious buildings, so many historical houses, ahhh too much!

I NEED TIME!! But time is running out.. Tomorrow is my last day here in Mexico! Yes really, my last day..
