4th July - 11th July 11
After a very hard negoitiation the owner let us have the 2 bed 3 bathroom beach house for a third of the normal price. We did have to cook him a meal the one night though in return for him denoating some fish. This week has all been about cycling and spoiling Adele with some great food to celebrate her 45th birthday. We went to the workshop everyday to visit Thelma&Louise, a minimum of 15 miles, we have also been sorting out our teeth and found a very good dentist. We leave the Villa tomorrow and go back to the RV park, we have enjoyed being in a house for a little while but looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. No photos to show you yet as have "killed" my pc with a water spill, keeping everything crossed that drying it for a week is going to do the trick.
Born to be wild!

MAZATLAN - PUNTA CERRITOS RV PARK
21st June - 4th July 11
As soon as we pulled into Mazatlan we instantly liked it. It has an old colonial town, tourist strip, marina, the RV park is the other end of town on the point overlooking sea from two ways. Its a great spot, and have been socialsing with some of the longterm RVers at the campground. They are all older than us, US and Canadian they are intersting, friendly folk. Most have sold up assets and now live at the RV park permantely, what is great about this park is that they allow you to personalise your space, with palapas, outside kithens etc. We had few nights out with an interesting guy from Oregan, 75, Lyle, he really seemed impressed that 2 women were doing this trip, we have done almost 7000 miles since we bought the RV. Most of our days have been spent trying to get some local to quote to do some repairs on the RV and finally have a quote we are happy with. This will mean 7 days in the workshp so found a nice beach house to rent for a week.

Journey To Mazatan
21st June 2011
We left Lo De Marcos in a bit of hurry, a hurricane was about to hit the West Coast. It was raining and have now learnt that a place normally safe to stop in the dry is certainly not the case in the wet. We pulled over and Thelma&Louise just sank in the red mud. 2 hours later, 2 tow trucks later we were finally out.We arrived in Mazatlan 6 hours later, a little red faced, and caked in red mud.
