Orientation

Turtle bay
Ik zit nu in een gehucht aan de turtle bay, het is een vissersplaatsje aan een grote baai, omringd door oud en kaal vulkanisch gesteente, en rotsen. Het is een stoffig plaatsje, geen verharde wegen, maar wel leuke huisjes onder wat struiken die in rode ...

Hitchhiking to nowhere...

Stopped in Guerrero Negro, Baha California Sur
On Saturday, January 12th we crossed over into the Baha California Sur and in Guerrero Negro there was a stop that required us to pay 10 Pesos or US $1.00, for a mandatory 'pesticide spray'. We are not sure if that is what it was or just a quick ...

It Would Have Been Better With Whales
After we finally found the ABC bus station in Tijuana, it was no trouble to get a ticket to Guerrero Negro. I do need to get used to the local abreviations though. It was somewhat disturbing to be handed a ticket that said "Gro Negro." Excuse me? But the ...
Salt
