February 27 and 28

Last days in Mexico City with Pernille and Laura!

We went to the floating market of Xochimilco, and walked around in the city (Zona Rosa, Roma, Paseo de la Reforma, etc...)

Perfect last days!

I then spent 3 whole days travelling back to London!

Thanks for following me on my blog!

Feb 23, 24, 25 and 26

Spent the last days in Campeche, Cancun and Playa del Carmen!

Campeche was really nice, pretty empty but nice! We visited a few things (but everything there was!) in the morning and spent the afternoon on the beach.

The next day, we took a 7-hour bus to Cancun and went out to a nice nightclub!

And on the last day, we went to Playa del Carem, did some snorkeling with turtles and cool fishes in the Carribean sea!!

Flew back to Mexico City, for my last 2 days in Latin America :-(

Spent the 22nd in Merida, walking around the center, going to markets (buying a really really cheap meal! And sombreros), eating ice-cream, visiting the palacio del gobierno, the museo de la ciudad... In the afternoon, the stayed in the swimming pool tasting different Mexican beers!

We then took a bus to reach Campeche.

February 19, 20 and 21

After a long journey (metro, taxi, plane, bus, bus number 2), I finally arrived in Tulum were I met my McGill friends!!

We stayed in a really nice hostel    (bungalows in a white sand/turquoise water beach) in Tulum! 
The next day we visited the Tulum ruins, which were really nice! We spent the afternoon on the beach chilling!

Today, we went to Chichen Itza - really nice but not that impressive after all the other ruins I have seen so far!

We are now in Merida, for one day!

February 18

Went to Coyoacan to visit Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera's house. 
The house is really really nice! I want the same one! And the aera is even nicer! Paved roads, houses painted in different colors, nice plazas with trees and flowers... Perfect! With Pernille and Laura, we decided that if we win the lottery, we would buy a house there! A cute orange one was for sale!

We also went to Ciudad Universitaria, the campus of the largest university in Latin America with 306,000 students!! There are something like 6 differed buses to bring the students to the different faculties etc! We took one, drive around the campus, and went back to the metro station! The ideal tour bus!

For our last night in Mexico City we went to a nice club with our friends!

February 17

Visited Teotihuacan with a group from the hostel! Really nice! (cf pictures)

February 16

Left Guadalajara really early to catch a bus heading to Mexico City (DF) - 8 hours drive.

Walked around Zocalo, had a late lunch and some delicious ice-cream! Walked a bit more in the city and came back to the hostel!
