As we were staying so close to Mercado San Camilito, we headed back there this morning for breakfast. For not much money I received a huge bowl of cornflakes, topped with pineapple, coconut yoghurt and granola. Not a combination I had ever tried before but it was fantastic. I know where I'm getting my breakfast from now on.

 

Today was all about hitting the streets. Here's a quick summary:

• Secreteria de Educacion Publica. Culture fix. Amazing Rivera paintings and a Mexican history lesson.

• Cathedral. Turned up during mass. Didn't stay long.

• Palacio Nacional. Couldn't find entrance. Left.

• Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico. Small but loved it. Impressionist painting exhibition = happy days.

• Palacio de Belles Artes. Best-looking building in the city.

• Mercado San Juan. If you need it, they have it. Stuffed pepper for lunch with heaps of veg was fantastic. 

• Monumento a la Revolucion. Huge arch, glass elevator to top, okay views.

• Museo Nacional de Arte. Pre-1850 section (yawn), Velasco exhibit (not bad), modern photo display (worth the visit).

 

All topped off with one litre cocktails, regular cocktails, wine, free popcorn and nachos. Great day overall.
