1 Racking 'em up and stacking them deep ..... a novell way to ease the lack of local parking.
2 Fuel it's about $1.50 AUD per litre ... on par with what I pay back home.
3 Every Sunday, Mexico City closes a fair amount of the major thoroughfares, to all vehicular traffic, for most of the day, which allows all the "lycra lunatics" their time in the sun. A great initiative I reckon - closing the roads that is.

21 I kept meandering towards the southern side of town and ended up in the so-called Bohemian art/café/hipster and tree lined suburb of La Condessa. As you can imagine, coffee shops, cafés, eateries and galleries abound, but one of the major attractions is the so called “Lungs of Mexico City” – Parque Espana.

23 Dinner tonight was at the Comedor Lucerna, which was simply jumping.
As eating establishments go, it’s a great concept. It’s basically a warehouse space, filled with large 12-seater picnic table/bench furniture and surrounded by 6 different food outlets and a bar. The premise is you are seated and receive menus from each outlet, order what you so desire and then have it delivered to your table for consumption. The meals we had were great and you couldn't complain about the service - there was none!
It seemed that no one wanted to help the Gringo’s for whatever reason. It even became Fawlty Towers like when we asked to pay and leave. We received 5 different tickets, from 3 different wait staff performing perfectly choreographed 'drop & dash' manoeuvres that facilitated us spending 20+ minutes trying to settle the bill(s).
Couldn't help but laugh at another moment that I’m labelling “TIM” – This Is Mexico.
