Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudgin
from News Talks, EDB Travel with Wendy wu Tours Where
the World is Yours for Now.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And joining us now is Megan Singleton, blogger at large
dot com. Good morning, Good morning. Oh I'm just getting fomo.
I'm just I'm just you know, I put it when
you look at people's travel photos and then you just come, yeah, okay,
we'll just call it for Mexico City. You've done a
wonderful post which gives you a four day tour of
Mexico City. Taught me through it. It looks amazing.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah. Look, I nearly didn't even go to Mexico City
on this tour because I thought, oh well, I just
thought it was a big concrete jungle and that would
have been such a tragedy had I not added it.
And it's only about a two and a half hour
flight from Cancun and then another two and a half
hour flight to Los Carbos. So those who have been
listening to us know that I took my Mexico tour

(01:01):
about maybe ten or twelve days long, and we started
in Cancune. We went to Mexico city for three nights,
but I've written this post up to cover four because
we really didn't, you know, have enough time. But we
saw the highlights. It's quite high altitude, it's about two
and a half thousand meters. At the time, I had
bit of a chest cough, so I put that down

(01:22):
to the altitude, but it was actually not really that noticeable.
I chose to stay right in the historic part of
town because it was easy to bob out and go
to some shops, and there's museums and the big cathedral
there and lots of sort of people watching and rooftop
bar on our hotel was amazing. So I've added all

(01:42):
that and so people can just jump on those links.
So a couple of day trips we did, which was amazing.
We went out to see some more pyramids. So if
you weren't going to get all the way to Cancun
and you wanted to see your man pyramids and stuff,
you could do that from Mexico City and then you know,
do some other parts of Mexico. Cancun is still very
touristy and you know, probably wouldn't need to go back there,

(02:03):
but you know, nothing against it. Went to Free to
Harlow's Palus, which is now a museum, and that was
quite sober and gosh, she had a tragic life. Polio
is a child, then a terrible bus accident and she
basically painted her plane. Really she was bedridden for so
many years and in a wheelchair before that. The food

(02:26):
scene's amazing. There's a Micheline dining scene in Mexico City.
We went to one Micheline restaurant one evening and went
floating on a river at some unesco protected brightly colored
boats that you get sort of punted along and the
mariachi bands come alongside, and then they bored you for
about thirty bucks. They'll sing you a song, but it's hilarious.

(02:49):
We never laughed so hard. You can go hold air ballooning.
There's markets. Just absolutely loved it and I would go
back in a heartbeat.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Just the streets are amazing, aren't they, Megan? Do you
know that the frescoes, the the artwork and things like
that a great place to wander around see.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Artwork is incredible And I would definitely want to do
a mural arts walking tour. I've actually found one to
add in because you've got Diego Rivieras Rivera's murals everywhere
and they're iconic and I didn't get a chance to
see them. Yeah, so that's another whole, beautiful, colorful part
of Mexico City.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Thank you so much, Megan. Her blog is up. You
can find a blogger at large dot com if you're
just thinking of having a little jaunt to Mexico.
