Baja California Sur Travel Blogs

Background: The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.

We're getting a little behind with the blog updates - it's just hard to keep up-to-date with all the fun and activities cruising the Mexican Riviera. Hopefully everyone at home appreciates how tough this is on us. Well, cruise #1 has come to an end after the final stop in Cabo San Lucas. A beach resort town really, so after a quick parasail before breakfast (see pic) we headed off to the Marina to have a look around. Well actually, the plans were originally grander than that, but didn't last long (read on). It didn't start off well with locals everywhere [View Full Entry]

Hello!‏ Here I am reporting from hot, sunny Mexico. On arrival in La Paz just over a week ago, I actually wasn't very well, and had to spend a day in bed sweating off my mysterious illness - nothing life-threatening, luckily!‏ That evening, I met my kayaking group for our briefing and the next day we set off on the speed boat for Isla Espiritu Santo, which is a totally undeveloped, volcanic island 18 miles away from the seaside town of La Paz, on the Baja California peninsula. The plan was to cicumnavigate it in our kayaks, camping on a different [View Full Entry]

October 28, 9:30AM CT HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIELLE! We were able to call and wish Danielle a Happy Day. Woke to sunshine, high seas, wind and lots of rocking and rolling, WHOOOOEEEE, a definite E-ride ticket. Ship seems to list to port which is our side of ship, so a lot of walking uphill… Breakfast buffet line, on deck 10, had some water sloshing about. Not quite sure where it comes from???? We are supposed to visit HUATULCO today. But the seas may have something to say about that. We are supposed to arrive at noon. Today is our beach day and [View Full Entry]

8.10. Die Welt ist ein Kaff! Jaja, den Satz gebe ich oefters von mir, aber wenn ich in La Paz eine Frau aus Berlin Prenzlauer Berg treffe werdet ihr mir wohl recht geben. In dem Hostel kam am Sonntag eine Gruppe von drei Reisenden an. Renato, Eike und Marc sind per Bus die Baja California heruntergereist. Am Montag abend wollen wir zusammen mit Roman aus der Schweiz ausgehen. Der anvisierte Club ist heute aber nur fuer Jugendliche geoeffnet. Gut, zurueck die Uferpromenade entlang und mal schauen was es noch so gibt. Aus einem der vorbeifahrenden Autos pfeifen und rufen uns fuenf [View Full Entry]

5.10. Wow! Ich wusste ja gar nicht wie spannend es ist "fremd" zu sein. Vom Flughafen in La Pâz habe ich mir mit zwei Belgierinnen ein Taxi in die Stadt geteilt. Dummerweise konnte ich meinen Gestgeber nicht erreichen da ich keine Telefonkarte hatte die man hier fuer die Telefonzellen braucht. Aber meines riesigen Spanischwortschatzes (ca. 10 Woerter), Haenden und Fuessen und dem Reisefuehrer habe ich schnell ein Hostel gefunden. Morgen werde ich mich mal nach einem Sprachkurs umsehen. So, die Internetzeit ist bald rum - bis die Tage!! Ach ja, zum abendessen gabs Oktopuss... [View Full Entry]

Hey hey, I thought I would dedicate a blog to Cabo San Lucas...officially my favourite Port of Call on the Disney Magic's Mexican Riviera run. Yay! If you get the chance in your life to visit Cabo San Lucas...DO IT! It is the most beautiful city and deserves to have lots and lots of visitors. I have decided to take a week long holiday in Cabo San Lucas at some point in my life so I can see it properly. It is truly awesome. Beautiful beaches, hospitable Mexicans, and happy people walking around saying "Ola" to random strangers (OK! That was [View Full Entry]

my belongings for 3 months
Hello all. In following a reliable tradition of procrastination, I am posting my pictures, thoughts, descriptions, and stories of my fabulous journey to Mexico from which I returned oh, 3 months ago. I spent the most amazing 3 months of my life in the southern half of Baja California, Mexico backpacking, kayaking, and sailing. I'll not bore you with insane details (which I very well could, because I carried a journal and my mediocre journaling skills led my entries to be mainly chronological summaries of our days), but instead, I'll attempt to paint a picture of something that really cannot be [View Full Entry]

Hi all, here are some photos from my camera that I´ve been unable to upload until now, and some more from Rob´s camera. We are in La Paz for our 2nd night after a 5 hour bus ride from Loreto. We´ve decided to forego travelling 6 hours return to see Cabo San Lucas as it looks very touristy and full of high end hotels and golf courses - not quite on our budget and seems a bit cheesy. Tomorrow morning we catch a bus to the ferry terminal at 5am, ouch. The ferry leaves for Topolobampo on the mainland at 8am [View Full Entry]
