HE SAID... On our third day in Mexico City, we slept in a little as our ‘Mexico City Markets and Food Tour’ didn’t start until 8:45am. We headed out at 8:15am and started walking towards the Zocalo, the heart of the city. We love being in a place as it slowly wakes, regardless of whether it’s a large city or tiny village. Our first stop on the tour was the Teatro del Pueblo, wher ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures. Rather than doing round-the-world trips, our preferred style of trave... full info

Workers of the World--Unite and Eat!
Brilliant to take these tours to spots that took me days to cover--plus, you got the insider tips. You two have true travelers' stamina! And so glad you were safe on the metro; the Aussie was robbed and I was groped--it can be awful when it's crowded, but clearly, you have good travelers' good karma as well! I loved and was howling at Ren's food descriptions: "pulque--kinda probiotic, an adultier version of kombucha with a home brew smell" and "tortilla soup as liquid nachos"--but you're totally right! Glad you found some dogs to pet! Best wishes on a better tummy for the marrow.

Re: Workers of the World--Unite and Eat!
I don't think we would have made time to visit the witchcraft market if it hadn't been included in the tour, and it was such an eye-opener! We caught the metro a few times and we were fine...I have sympathy for the guy who got robbed, but he was silly enough to carry his wallet in his pocket (even after he was advised not to). It was definitely my preferred way of moving around the city, however if I hadn't been used to catching crowded trains in other dense cities (especially to/from work when you have no choice), I'd probably have found it quite confronting.
