On the move

Today we packed up and left San Miguel for the other World Heritage City in the district. Before we left, I took a couple of photographs of the view we had from our B&B, Casa Cinco Patios. You can see that the rooftop of the place has been livened up with many colours and a cactus garden.

Casa Cinco Patios extends all the way to the blue wall.

Our bus trip from San Miguel to Guanajuato was quite short, but often the travel was bumpy since the roads are not in the best shape. When we arrived at our latest accommodation, Casa Zuniga, we were very impressed. We are located above the city near the Pipila Mirador, and right next to the Funicular which takes 90 seconds to go up and down. The place is both very convenient and impressive. Since it is far above the city, we hope that is quiet at night, because the city below is certainly lively!

The Funicular

We headed down into the city and took it in for a while before we stopped for a Mexican lunch at the Plaza de la Paz. Unfortunately, we were both feeling a little shaky. Montezuma's revenge was upon us (as the title of the blog suggests - we are on the move), so our tour of the city was cut short in the afternoon. We did manage to take a few photos, however, but we have barely scratched the surface of this lovely place.

Mariachi Band

After a rest, we descended into the city yet again, looking for some friends of my sister, Catherine, who, like us, had just arrived in Guanajuato. Eventually, we found each other and had a lovely visit on the Jardin Reforma. Mariachi bands played and the local people milled about as we sat and chatted over drinks. We have decided to spend tomorrow together touring the city.
