We are back in Mexico and in the BajaCalifornia . The RV was waiting for us at the San Diego KOA with a flat battery. The storage manager was lovely and helped us no end to get us back up and running. Note to ourselves, have time to disconnect the battery before flying out. With no time to waste, one day preparing we were over the Tijuana border, the busist border in the world, in about 20 minutes. The first night we spent just outside Ensenanda at Punta Banda, Mi Refugio overlooking the estuary. The fish market at Ensenada was impressive and our fridge is now stocked with large prawns and fish. The next day up early (jet lag has been hard to shake off) and headed down to San Quintin, Fidel's El Pabellon, miles of deserted beach. We stayed here for 2 nights and was nice to see the beach was full of sand dollars. Not that it is warm up enough to spend too long on the beach. A long 7 hour drive to Guerrero Negro and unmemorable RV park, Malarrimo RV Park and then up early to get to the Sea of Cortez on the East Coast. The drive down was spectacular and the Bahia Conception, just outside Mulege, provides pictursque beach camping with so many bays to choose from. We stayed at Playa Santispac and then El Requeson, but have been driven off the beaches due to the strong northerly winds (and lack of water in our tanks!). At the moment we are in the oldest settlement on the Baja, Loreto at Rivera Del Mar RV Park which is within walking distance to old quaint town. The Baja so far is more remote than we expected but the Mexicans have had more exposure to the Americans and therefore prices are very much higher than mainland Mexico. Tomorrow we head further South to look for a good spot for Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! X X
