Our camp had been perfect except for the 2am wake up call from the policia. Cleo’s growls were our first warning, but the real awakening happened when we saw the bright headlights shined at us and a male voice shouting something. Dan was faster to react than me, quickly grabbing some pants and shouting “Una…
Month: June 2017
Tuesday 6th June – Pescado Tacos por Desayuno. Pescado Tacos por Cena. (Fish Tacos for Breakfast, Fish Tacos for Dinner)
You could say we were woken up by the sun but we were really raised by the heat. By 7am, it was way too hot to stick around in the car anymore so we were out. Neither of our bowels were really playing ball so it was necessary to get out and do our morning…
Monday 5th June – Guerrero Negro (Negro Town)
It was a nice change to be woken up by the sun, even though it meant we were out of bed by 7am. First sunrise in the Baha. Perfect. I got myself comfortable in my chair at the back of the car wearing only my underwear and being just warm enough thanks to the early…
Sunday 4th June – No Queremos Camiones Amarillo (We Don’t Like Yellow Trucks)
I was glad to find I wasn’t hungover since I’d gotten all the alcohol out of my system yesterday afternoon. We woke to the dreariest day yet. Not only was the fog still around, it was so thick that we could feel the thick mist all over our bodies once we got out of the…
Saturday 3rd June – La Baja Quinientos (The Baja 500)
We snoozed in bed until we heard the first motor race past us at around 8am. When we looked out the rear window, we fond a family of three cars and a few tents had camped right on our door step so we were a bit pissed about that until we emerged from the van…
Friday 2nd June – Explorar Fiesta (Scouting Party)
Despite my deepest wishes, the fog remained when we woke in the morning. Dan was on breakfast duty so I stayed in bed blogging as he made hot chocolate, then an onion, egg, beans and cheese burrito. Partway through this process, Ismael arrived. He’d unlocked the gate and came to see if we were interested…
Thursday 1st June – Marejada con una Sello (Surfing with a Seal)
Feeling a little on the dirty side, I was having myself a warm shower at the side of the car in my underwear when a man came up to the car saying, “Buenos dias, amigo.” (Good morning, friend). Thankfully, Dan was outside and so started talking to him while I hid in the car wrapped…
Monday 31st May – La Bufadora (The Bufadora)
We’d set an alarm for 1:30am to see what high tide looked like. When the phone made a noise, we groggily rolled over to see that the highest waves were at least a few feet away. We would be fine. In the actual morning, we were woken up by our friend from last night who…
Sunday 30th May – Solo La Playa (Only the Beach)
Our camp on Sunset Cliffs was choice. No one bothered us during the night and we were both able to have a midnight pee break without getting caught. It was our first night’s sleep in the new digs and we both slept solidly. We woke to the low paced hustle and bustle of the beach…
Monday 29th May – It’s Official, We’ve Moved In Together
We were up super early, breakfasted and out to the car by 9am because we didn’t want to muck around. We’d talked about being ready to go by noon and we were determined. At breakfast, Debbie had her laptop out and informed us that our switch had been delivered to Oregon, so there was no…
