Cultural trip to Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Mexico City

We arrived in Mexico after a 11 hour flight both with red wine smiles. I think we drank a few more complimentary wines than we thought....they ran out!

Got to the hotel safe and sound, it was amazing and in a really nice part of Mexico City, El Condessa. It was full of middle class Mexicans we fitted in perfectly! There was a famous singer staying in the hotel apparently she was Mexico's Mariah Carey.

First day of our trip we decided to go exploring the museums...

As you can see we took the whole thing very seriously! The museum was really good but we do get bored very easily.

That evening we decided to head out for some traditional Mexican food. On the plane we made friends with a young greasy Mexican, he said his favourite place to eat was just round the corner from where we were staying. We thought we couldnt go wrong, we thought wrong. We had trouble finding the El Greco restaurant, this was due to the fact that it was actually a kebab shop (imagine Mexico's answer to the Olympus in Bridgend). Alex couldn't believe his luck, so kebab dinner it was!

Mexico City was much nicer than we thought it was going to be, but we got itchy feet and booked ourselves on to a 25 hour bus trip to Belize City. The journey was as you can imagine cramped, hot and a screaming baby; this was meant to be first class. We woke up on the bus to a beautiful sunrise and the Mexican army! we had to get off the bus and they search everyones bags..we were half asleep so it all seemed a bit surreal but it went surprisingly smoothly considering we didn't have a clue what they were saying!

We jumped straight off the bus on to a boat headed towards Caye Caulkner..so nice to be finally getting to our destination, the sun setting as we arrived.
