Geo: 22.88, -109.9Cabo San Lucas is a small holiday resort in Mexico. It is really a cheap place for a holiday especially for people who like beaches and water sports. The marina is a pleasant place to walk around and there are numerous trips offered to go fishing, whale watching or parasailing, which did look good and I would like to try it one day. We did not have an official tour booked so just strolled around, had a beer and strolled back. We heard later that the tours were a bit pathetic so glad we did our own thing.The ship was moored in the bay so we were tendered in. The 7 Seas Navigator was also moored in the bay. It was on a world cruise and left before we did ,sailing all the way ... read more

We sadly have made it to the border crossing to the USA and then on to Canada sadly saying good bye. We have been travelling the Baja for 54 days, saw not one drop of rain, met huge numbers of wonderful people, fell in a septic tank (not us our RV) our friends got stuck in the sand, been through 27 military checks, over thousands of vados and topaz knocking a few screws loose here and there, breaking a few dishes, And getting a very good sub Tan. Mexico is a very wonderful place to Travel nothing dangerous as many think. the condition of their roads are poor and they have no shoulders (just go slower),, the locals are used to them be courteous let them pass, they do in no passing curved double lines especially ... read more

I slept in until 9 which I would regret later, I kind of mused about my upcoming travel and procrastinated and somewhere around 1030 in the morning I got going after topping up with even more food and filtered water. I was probably riding about 8 kilos heavier than I had previous but it didn't turn out to be too much of a big deal, I made some really good distance in short time and was tackling the hills with no problem. Days like this were just fun, compared to the times where you just struggle and strain and moan to yourself about how tough it is there are times where your body is 100% into it. I still had some pains in my left knee that I was taking note of, but my seat was ... read more

https://youtu.be/OEiQznpDIgc Entre les barreaux de la fenetre de notre chambre, je vois le soleil projeter ses premiers rayons sur les palissades de beton qui s’etendent le long de la frontiere, un peu plus au nord. Elles semblent avoir été dresse pour proteger le desert américain de l’expansion d’une ville Mexicaine. Les maisons s’etendent jusqu’à la frontiere. Elle défend l’originalite de deux peuples, de deux cultures, si differentes que leur melange serait un gachi. Une barriere physique qui maintien le contrôle social de l’un et la liberte d’entreprendre de l’autre. Du regard, j’inspecte la peinture monochrome qui recouvre les murs grossiers de la chambre, a la recherche d’insectes. J’en ai trouve un hier, une belle grosse blate. Elles doivent passer au travers du jour qu’il y a sous la porte. C’est le tour du sol. Ahhh, je ... read more
