We survived Mexico city, and it was amazing. Although we knew it was built on a lake we had no idea it was sinking. What strikes one is the lack of skyscrapers in a city with over 20 million people and yes the air pollution is horrible. Traffic is quite restricted so we left our truck north of...

Guanajuato City a UNESCO site and truly beautiful Balloon Sellers in San Miguel de Allende Monarch Butterfly Millions and millions of butterflies take flight Start planning everyone you have to see Guanajuato and the Monarch butterflies

We are finally ready to enter Mexico City, which we will do tomorrow. We plan to park the truck just north of the city and then take a bus to the train station and hopefully get on the right train to Mexico city and then take the subway to a hotel. We have loved the colonial cities especially...

We are now in San Miguel de Allende and have great internet so it is a good time to catch up on blogs etc A Restaurant that cooks in the "engine" of an old car and they made great hamburgers We have updated our final blog from Baja and one of the highlights was the humpback whales we saw off...

Thanks yes we have had to make many choices of what to see as we travel but decided we wanted to see some of the Mexican culture, colonial cities etc. There is just so much to see in Mexico we will definitely have to come back one to explore more of the amazing country

Thanks for the comment. We have now left the Pacific Ocean and are heading east across Mexico. We said goodbye to Mazatlan and arrived in Guadalajara this afternoon. Sad to say good bye The road was excellent as we took the toll road. However the campsite here is empty, there are no tourists...

We said good bye to Baja and are now in Mazatlan. Good bye Baja We took the TMC ferry rather than the Baja Ferry which saved us a significant amount of money. The TMC ferry is a cargo ferry and so we could also sleep in the camper while making the 17 hour journey across the ocean. It was a bit...

Thanks for all the comments. We survived the tourist packed Cabo San Lucas and actually had great fun. back in the maddening crowds Yacht Anyone? The snorkelling was unbelievable although Tom managed to add some excitement when he "forgot" to take his money out of his pocket before he went...

We arrived at Cabo Pulmo hoping to do some snorkelling and kayaking but the sea was too rough so we had to be content to just enjoy the view and a walk along the beach. However we found a lovely beach to camp on, away from the crowds. Campsite at Cabo Pulmo Then we headed to Cabo San Lucas...

We have updated our blog about our experience of diving with the whale shark and the real truth about why we had to go back to Spanish lessons. We spent 11 days in La Paz despite only planning to "pass through" but we have had a wonderful time, meeting great people, learning Spanish and diving...

Thanks we are leaving La Paz today and heading south so will definitely check out Los Ceritos and let you know what we think.

We are still in La Paz leaving this weekend to explore the southern most tip of Baja. We have been attending Spanish classes and if I have learned one thing it is that is is painfully hard to learn a 2nd language but we are committed to do so. I have attached the video of our highlight of La...

We are continuing to learn Spanish in La Paz. I read in the newspaper about a dog that knows 1022 words in English. That is more words than I know in Spanish. What does that tell you? I am not a dog :) We also had the most amazing experience diving with whale sharks in the bay in La Paz. We...

We woke up to a tire that was going down slowly, not a puncture but a faulty valve. So we called in the tire man and it was a struggle to communicate with them. So we are back in Spanish school in La Paz. We had planned to spent a month in Guatemala at Spanish school but have decided we need...

For camping in a pop up tent in freezing condition does result in condensation issues. We solved the problem of preventing any of the moisture getting on our bedding or ourselves by putting silver sunshields used for shading a window between the mattress and the wall of the tent. It is...

We continue to explore Baja California. We are amazed at how many Canadians there are we have met more Canadians here than we met in the USA. Also surprised at how chilly it has been especially in Baja North. We spent a wonderful New Years Eve on the beach in the Bahia of Concepcion with of...

Ok so we made it to Mexico but not quite as planned. We entered at Tecate only to be told we had to go to Tijuana to get a permit for the truck. So we set off driving along the Mexican USA border watching the USA border control on the other side of the fence watching us watching them. We entered...

Yes it is raining in California and guess where we are at the moment. We have updated our blog and bid the USA farewell. We are looking forward to exploring Mexico and hopefully to some sunny weather. Our plan is to travel down Baja before heading into mainland Mexico. We loved our travels in...

Another Canadian overlander. sounds like you are having fun. We are heading into Baja within a few days, perhaps we will meet you somewhere on route. take care and travel safe

Well you were right about Joshua Tree being very different to Death Valley and yet we loved Joshua Tree especially the Western section. The Joshua trees are ridiculous looking not exactly pretty and look like they are still figuring out how they want to present themselves to the world. We drove...
