Flew into mexico city, afternoon time, over 20 million people in this city, huge place. Stayed in hostel Amigo in the historic center, met some mates actually from Peru here. Nice hostel and good breakfast but the guy behind reception is a douche and the beers are pretty expensive. Metro is great for getting around though, only two Mexican pesos! Stayed for a day and went to see the pyramids, really nice vew of the city aswell. Got a night bus from Terminal de Autobus to Monterrey to stay with Nialls relations.

Monterrey (27th – 3rd September)
Stayed in Nialls aunties house up the hills not far from el centro. They welcomed us with open arms and I even had Barrys tea for breakfast. Went into town that day and got to see the comptemporary modern arts museum and walked around the city centre which is really nice. Supposedly it was 38 degrees here only a few weeks ago, thankfully it calmed down when we were there! Went to a brewery restaurant the first night that was delicious and really good craic with Nialls relations, kinda feel at home here in a way. Tasted some really good tequila and mexcal, does the job! Definitely getting closer to states, huge pick ups and fast food restaurants everywhere. Decided to stay here longer than expected and went to a football match Saturday, local team Monterrey and the quality of football was really good, went to Nialls cousins house afterwards and had a Barbie Mexican style, and hit a really good house party after, safe to say Sunday I spent all day in bed! Went to see caves “Grutas de Garcia” which are over 40 million years old, pretty cool! Next day went to see Chipinque national park, pretty sweltering heat walking around, amazing houses up here, mostly narc owned!!
Tijuanna (4th – 5th September)
Only stayed here for a night, pretty quiet on a Thursday night so just went for afew beers before heading up to san diego. Pretty thrashy here aswell, targets young drunk Americans that have money to spend! Hostels from san diego do orgnaise trips here tho on Fridays and Saturdays which would be a laugh I guess.
