Hotel Marina La Paz

Quiet morning, and later, a sweep/mop tidy the house time… oh, we love this little place! Big event of the day was grocery shopping at CCC. Stocked up on enough fruit for a year and got a second sauté pan. Paul prepped some fruit for a fruit cocktail like what Lucy, our neighbor sells. SO good…

Fruit of your choice (we often use mango, banana, strawberry, apple, pear), with coconut, raisins, granola, flax seed meal, cottage cheese and yogurt.

... in we were told of the free coffee in the morning and free tequila shot in the afternoon... very interesting, though we weren't around for the shot. :) Met 'Martin' who works there - a bit rough around the edges, abrasive but nice. He's got serious wander lust , takes great pride in his ability to survive on nothing; hitchhiking, doing whatever meager work he can to sustain ...

... realize what an amazing thing it is to be under the sea and mingling with creatures most people only see on the Discovery Channel or in National Geographic. We know so little about the oceans, yet I've seen first-hand how we're destroying that environment every bit as rapidly, if not more so, as on land. Our oceans are a treasure and how I wish everyone could share in the adventure. I've heard it said about going into space, and I believe it's ...

... It's known for schooling hammerhead sharks, so everyone is quite jazzed. We'll then be taking Sunday off as our break day and most likely will head into the town of La Paz for some shopping, eating and other fun stuff. A cruise ship is scheduled to come in on Sunday anyway, and the resort is expecting many, many people arriving for one day of diving, snorkeling, kayaking, etc. Good day to get away. Well, until manyana!

... her swim skin. So we quickly raised anchor and proceed to our last night’s anchorage at Cayeta Lobos where again we anchored in 15 ft (3m) of soft sandy bottom. Damn we’re getting spoiled. It was another beautiful evening and incredible sunset filled with great pelican action.

After a day chillin'' in Mulegè doing our only chore (washing), we decide it's time to explore the area. Early start to catch the 'commuter' traffic and we're stood at the entrance to the town trying to thumb ourselves a lift the 30 minutes down to El Burro. With lots or returned hand gestures, we're not sure what we're doing wrong when one very kind fellow stops in his pickup and lets us jump in. We share the open back with 3 logs and a huge machete and I ...

... was surprisingly terrific, it is set out like having a BBQ at your mates house with good music pumping out in the background. We enjoyed it so much we ended up going there everyday from then on. We had to change hotels as the hotel we were staying at was closing down for the week (we are in the off season), so we headed out to the La Concha which was a beach resort 5kms out of town but closer to the ferry terminal where we would need to take a taxi when we head off to ...

... The fee was $55 US dollars a piece and it was money well spent. The water was a bit choppy although the Panga was large enough to cut right through the constant waves. The lava rock formations were readily seen every time we turned to lap the island. Many layer of this world history piled on top on each other with visible signs of sand stone sediment ...

... with somewhere in South America and thus fulfil a long-term ambition to visit the continent (a lot of people go misty-eyed when you mention South America but I've never met anyone behave in the same way when you mention Asia, for some reason). So, even though we were thrilled by the prospect of meeting up with our siblings (both in Peru, at separate times, it has now been decided) we now had a time schedule to work to - we had to head south and keep on heading south !
