Now I've Recovered..........

Now I have recovered from running up and down pyramids on Saturday, I thought it was time to write about them.

Before arriving at the pyramids we stopped off at a little shop where they showed us how they made different types of Tequila and some other murky mildly alcoholic viscous liquid. All of which had supposed property but one was for energy which I think helped in my speedy ascent of the two pyramids.

Having climbed both pyramids with a fellow traveller (not Sam, as she had a few problems with the large steps) and be completely shattered, we found that we had to walk about 10 miles down to the exit in the hot sun with no shade. This was aptly name the walk of death. I really think the Aztec's should have invented something like the conveyor belts you find in airports to help them get around.

Anyway not satisfied with all the Aztec stuff from Saturday's trip we decided to visit the Templar Mayor on Sunday, the main Aztec ruin in the centre of Mexico City (mainly because it was free on a Sunday and it was too far to go to any other museum). After three hours we were property Aztec´d out. I don't think I need to see anymore Aztec remains or Churches after we leave Mexico!

Sunday night we met up with a number of friends in the bar for a few beers (or more) and a game of cards or two. Later in the evening we found that if we bought the barman a beer he would give us free Mezcal (Tequila), which was great until I found later when I bought another couple of beers that the barman was knocking back the Mezcal himself and was away with the fairies and couldn't work out what change I needed, although after some help from a friend who speaks Spanish I did get the right change.

Luckly when Monday morning came I was hangover, just as well as it was moving day and we had to change hostel.
