Cabo Pulmo is an odd place, where it is clear that without the presence of the coral reef here, there would probably be no town at all. This place is built purely on tourism, in the middle of nowhere. When we arrived here it was still grey skies and a bit windy, not the best conditions for snorkelling, which this place is renowned for. Still having some time to kill that afternoon, me and Lee walked down the beach to the imaginatively named ‘Tacos & Beer’. Not the cheapest o

I was woken first at 3am, by the rain. This meant climbing outside to retrieve our transformer before it got broken, rain is not something we have had to deal with recently and to give ourselves more room inside we tend to dump a few things outside when we park up. Having got back to sleep after this, the next thing we knew there was someone shouting loudly in Spanish and banging on our vans. John ended up speaking to them, and it turns out we should probably have listened to

That morning it was time to saw goodbye to our travel companions and begin a push to get south. We had had a fantastic time travelling with these guys, and hope to meet them again on the road before they cross over to the mainland. Aimee too wasn't keen to leave, jumping up into their engine bay and refusing to come out. We had a couple of days to make it to Todos Santos, 6 hours away. Our goal for the day was to get to El Conejo beach as it was one of the only sights to camp

The next town on vague schedule is Mulege. It has a laundrette which we definitely needed and also a micro-brewery which is an added bonus. We headed into this little town and made our way to the laundry, which was shut. The problem you sometimes have when you don’t live to a weekly routine is that it’s very easy to forget what day it is. Today was a Sunday and therefore things were shut. Still, the brewery wasn’t shut so it’s not all bad. We headed there to try a flight of M

We have never met so many tourists as we have in Baja. There are not only a lot of Americans which is really to be expected considering the time of year, but also a lot Europeans. San Ignacio is no exception, as we go further south we seem to meet more and more, probably because the weather is improving. Outside the supermarket we met another two Brits who had spent the past 7 years travelling on the bikes, something that I admire but have no desire to do myself. Deciding to

That morning we sat outside Ruby, drinking our tea in the sun and watching whales as they swam up the bay past us. Definitely worth the $5 for this camp site, especially as they never came around to ask for any more money for the second night. We also conducted some more whale watching with the help of Steve. Around midday, we packed up our things and decided to head off. David and Katie had already left to go and stock up in the town, something we also needed to do. Despite

We arrived at Bahia de Los Angeles around mid-afternoon, after a slightly hairy moment when the road abruptly turned into a dirt track without any warning. The camp spot we had chosen was a free one around the end of the bay at a nature reserve called La Gringa. Clearly a popular spot with campers, as there was already several there when we arrived. We also happened to meet up with Katie and David again, having lost signal shortly after the sump incident and not being able to

In the morning, we were ready to leave by around midday. We had agreed to go with Katie and David to La Lobera, and then onto El Rosario to wash our clothes after a smokey fire the night before. We flew Steve out over the bay, much to the amusement of the locals. We then said goodbye to dogs, Gina, Jake and Rosa. They chased us a good half a mile out of the campsite before giving up and I hope that another camper turned up that night to feed them, as they really were nice cre

We arrived at the Mexican border in the early afternoon on the 3rd of February. Getting through customs was a very simple process. As expected, we were pulled aside, compared to the majority of cars that were simply waved straight through. The official to a cursory glance in the back, checked that we had some kind of document that proved it was ours and waved us on. He didn’t check we had insurance, or any paperwork for Aimee or even our passports. Knowing that we needed to g
