Both D&L woke in the small hours, & struggled to get back to sleep. L then woke (again) first, & was surprised to find that it was already 10 to 10! Got up & packed as quickly as we could, & went back to the restaurant for breakfast - limited menu, breaded chicken & salad for D&L; battered ham filled with cheese & beans for the kids. Discovered that trying to combine a late start with eating breakfast & getting schoolwork don...

Woken early by, would you believe it, the sound of more explosions! None of us had slept well, so it was an effort to get going, & by the time we went out to get breakfast, it was brunch! We found a good, busy, "locals" restaurant just around the corner from the hotel, & ate another great meal (D's sopa azteca was especially yummy, as was the cinnamon flavoured coffee (café de ollo)). Once the meal was finished, we walked through town & tried to fi...

Alarm set for 8am, as L wanted to take M ice skating. The got up & ready, & walked to the Zocalo to get tickets for when the ice rink opened, at 10am. D&J lazed around in the room for an hour, & then went down for breakfast. Ice Age was on the large TV in the dining room, in English, with Spanish subtitles! When the film finished, the channel was changed, & Event Horizon was on - at a particularly gruesome scene involving a crew member &...

A different chap at the front desk would only give us 2 tickets for breakfast, even after being shown the online receipt that states bad and breakfast, & names four people. We sat, & shared our two person meal between the four of us, quite annoyed at the pettiness of the desk clerk. Once we had eaten, we decided to go back to the bakery for Se...

Set alarm for 10am, & managed to get downstairs for just after 11 for our "continental" breakfast - a small plate of slices of fruit, some bread rolls & jam, & coffee. Enough to take the edge off our hunger, but not enough! Decided to walk to the Zocalo, & D confidently strode on, map in hand. Three blocks later, we realised that we had gone in completely the wrong direction, but instead of turning around, retracing our steps, we decided to cont...
