MEXICO CITY (MEXICO)

10 March - 11 March 2017
Back in Mexico City after flying in from Cabo our Central American tour was slowly winding down. There were no new destinations scheduled, just Mexico City and the connecting flight out of Los Angeles before heading for home.

Inga & I stayed at Hostal Regina, a familiar place to me, I had stayed there with Jet on my first visit to Mexico City in 2011. Hands down, the best hostel in terms comfort, atmosphere and location out of any that I stayed in. Located in the Historic Centre of Mexico city, the surrounds are enjoyable from an architectural perspective and the proliferation of restaurants and bars, which seem to have grown quite rapidly in the 6 years from my last visit.
Most of the day we spent walking around the centre of the city, which again, on this occasion I found to be more lively and more dynamic than the last occasion here. Packaged into our cruisey meanderings was a stop to Torre Latinoamericana, located in the central, historic part of the city, the building is 182mtrs tall, and was for some time the tallest in the city. Offering commanding views of the entire expanse of this grand city, it's hard to believe by looking around that this capital that it was built on what was one Lake Texococo, until such time that it was drained under the instruction of Enrico Martinez, cosmographer to the King of Spain and also an hydraulic engineer.
With a slow wind down we left Mexico City and headed north for our final stop in Los Angeles. Central America in many ways was not what we expected and to that extend offered more than we thought we'd receive.
Thank you to each and every place that we visited, you were all wonderful, except for El Jardin de la Vida in Ometepe (you sucked!).
