Dec 18 - Tecate

To-day is our final day in Mexico. We crossed the border at Tecate which was experiencing a much longer border line-up than usual due to some lines being closed at the Tijuana border crossing.

This line went up this hill and then just as long down the other side.

This is a section of the border fence between Mexico and the USA.

Dec 17 - Valley de Guadalupe

Today we visited and had a tour of the LA Cetto Winery.

We stayed at the Rancho Sordo Mudo campsite which is operated by the people who run a school for the deaf children in Mexico.

Dec 16 - Vicente Guerrero

Our tour is coming to a close. Today we travelled to Vicente Guerrero and went out to the Baja Fiesta Restaurant for our final group dinner together.

Dec 15 - Catavina

Catavina is the only campsite that we stayed at both directions. We stayed at the Rancho Santa Inez. This time we visited some of the local cave paintings (over 7000 years old).

Dec 11 - 14 Bahia de los Angeles

Another beautiful beach for a few days. The weather was very variable. We had wind from many directions, rain and some sun. Apparantly it had not rained for 7 years. We did get a chance to go fishing one day. Here are some pictures.

Here are a few pictures of the campsite and beach.

Dec 10 - Guerrero Negro

On our way to Guerro Negro we stopped at a beach side malacon.

When we left Guerrero Negro in the morning it was into a bank of fog.

Dec 7 - 9 - Mulege

Have not had internet for a while so I am a little behind.

We did laundry, shopped and saw many sights in Mulege. One of which was the Mission Santa Rosalia de Mulege.

Mulege is located in a palm tree oasis. Both Fan and Date palms were planted by the missionaries and they flouished very well.

An old very famous hotel "Loma Linda" visited by many movie stars and other notables lies in ruins and neglect.

The highlight of our visit was our dinner out at "Ray's Place" which started with a tray of Oysters Rockerfeller and then each group of 4 shared a gigantic seafood platter.

Of course washed down with Cervasa's, Wine or Margaretta's

Dec 3 - 6 - Playa Juncalito

Playa Juncalito is a beach camping area 25 km south of Loreto. We camped on the beach, tried to go fishing but the water was too rough, went on an adventure hike and saw lots of local birds.

Nov 30 - Dec 2 - La Paz

La Paz is the capital city of Baja California Sur. It has a very pleasant malecon (waterside walking path).



Interesting shops.





Dried Chilli's anyone

 Unique graveyard

And good food and entertainment.

Nov 28 - 29 - Pescadero / Todos Santos

We stayed in a brand new RV park, not yet completed in Pescadero (a fishing village). Near was the Blanket Factory.

We had dinner at a backyard kitchen in Pescadero

We took a excursion into Todos Santos (which means all saints) and saw the original Hotel California.

Back at the campsite we watched many surfers including some from Tofino and went boogy boarding ourselves.
