Tijuana


Why?Why?Why?

paint a donkey stripy? This is the first thing you see as you step off the bus.
The trip to Tijuana started well. We parked the car just north of the border and took the bus to Tijuna - a 15 min ride. The main street, Revolucion, was, as you expect, full of people trying to sell you anything and everything. They did lack a bit of sales technique though. Hello, welcome, come have a look, best store! hardly trigger any buying needs. Once off Revolucion, it got a bit more interesting, with vibrant street markets, street musicians and underdressed ladies.

We had a very nice seafood meal and headed back to the bus. For some reason the way to the border from Tijuana is a lot longer than the other way. This time it took us 2 hours. Later we discovered that the US immigration added the extra 1h45min. At last we got through and steered our car towards PCH and Huntington Beach.




Resan till Tijuana borjade bra. Vi parkerade bilen strax norr om gransen och tog bussen till Tijuana - en resa pa 15 min. Huvudgatan, Revolucion, var som forvantat full av folk som forsokte salja allt mojligt. De saknade saljteknik dock. Hej, valkommen, kom och titta, basta affaren! gav oss knappast nagot kopbehov. Vid sidan av Revolucion var det lite mer intressant, med pulserande gatumarknader, gatumusikanter och lattkladda damer.

Vi at en god fiskmiddag och begav oss tillbaka till bussen. Av nagon anledning ar vagen fran Tijuana till gransen mycket langre an at andra hallet. Den har gangen tog det 2 timmar. Vi upptackte senare att det var den amerikanska immigrationsmyndigheten som la till den extra timmen och trekvart. Till slut kom vi igenom kontrollen och vande bilen mot PCH och Huntington Beach.
