Planning our trip around central Mexico, I assumed there would come a stage where our interest in historic city centres would run out, well it did and Morelia was the place that fell victim.

We didn't do the city justice, we stopped for an early lunch on an overcast Sunday morning, meaning that many of the church interiors were out of bounds as they were being used by the large congregations. We had a stroll around the city centre, hunting out a cash machine, before sitting in a cafe to watch the locals ride bikes along the Zocalo which had been close to cars. The most impressive thing in the centre we saw was the governor's mansion, which was decorated with impressive murals. A really impressive undertaking, but amazingly it was par for the course for Mexican municipal buildings.

After a quick wizz through the convent turned folk art museum we headed out towards the aqueduct, and like Els were somewhat underwhelmed by it. We also managed to peek inside the glorious Santuario de Guadelupe before realising the service was going on and tried to leave the congregation in peace.

So that was about it, I can see that Morelia may reward a longer stay and that we didn't do it justice, however it really didn't grab us during our visit.
