Mexico city metro

Ah stupid travellers!

The only thing i had been warned about while travelling in mexico city was to avoid taking the metro at peak times, its incredibly busy and best to stay away.  However Sarah and I found ourselves far away from our hostel, exhausted after a big day of walking and the only way to get home was metro at start of peak time. neither of us were prepared for the quick big squeeze onto the metro and got separted with me on the train and sarah stranded at the station.  Luckily about five mins before we got on the train we met a nice man Raymondo, who we were chatting to while waiting for the train,when we got to our stop, he offered to go back to find sarah as i didnt want to leave incase she was on the next few trains. soon after both arrived and we now have a little plan about what we do in that situation if it ever happens again :)


I FINALLY GOT TO CLIMB A PYRAMID! at Teotihuacan pyramid of the sun. I was so exicited on the way there i had completely forgotten about my terrible fear of heights, i only remembered when i had reached the first platform. Started hyperventillating, but managed to calm myself down, and then at each level i had to stop and take 10mins to calm down, reminding myself that this was a childhood dream and that i had to finish.  In what felt like hours but was quite quick really, i managed to get to the top, and so glad to get there it was a spectacular view.

                                          Sarah: are we really gonna climb that?


Just have to keep reminding myself, now is the time to start living fearlessly!
