Subject: Post: Today the start in the morning was a bit slow, as we spent some hours considering what we should do during the next days. Finally ended up booking flights to Cancun for tomorrow evening and decide tomorrow what do actually do around there.In the afternoon we went to Xochimilco, the river channel area south of the city. Those rivers are all that is left of the lake on which Mexico City was originally built and nowadays they serve as some kind of recreational area for both tourists and locals. You basically hire a boat and float along the rivers with Mariachi bands offering their services from their boats, food and beverages being sold from other ones.Some haggling in Spanish was needed to get the price to tolerable level, but in general it was a relaxing and nice experience. Would have been perfect for yesterday afternoon instead of the long museum walk. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
