Despite the noise of the night, we’d both slept ok, sleeping well past sunrise. Keen to do the hike we’d missed yesterday, as soon as we were up, we had a quick round of cereal for brekkie, then drove out of camp for the last time. Lidia and Christian were still asleep in their tiny…
Saturday 10th June – No Más Bebiendo, No Más Cigaros (No More Drinking, No More Cigarettes)
Despite the heavy sleeping caused by our drunken state, our night was disturbed by tailgaters partying right next door. We don’t know how long we conked out for, but at some time in the night, the noise around us became unbearable and we moved the car to the back of the parking lot. As Dan…
Friday 9th June – Cabo, Salida Del Sol A La Salida De La Luna (Cabo, Sunrise to Moonrise)
We had a pretty good sleep considering the base died away some time during the night and the lights in the palm trees next to us were turned off. As usual, we woke with first light, but contrary to our normal behaviour, Dan got us straight out of bed to go and see the sunrise….
Thursday 8th June – De Pobre A Rico (From Rags to Riches)
Cleo woke us, just like a kid on Christmas morning, climbing into her parents’ bed to inform them it was morning and time to open the presents! We obliged, opening the back door to a clearing marine fog over the waves. We all used the bathroom before retreating back into the van for a couple…
Wednesday 7th June – No Necesitamos Planos (We Don’t Need Plans)
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…
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…
