We
made it! Drove through the border at Tecate with no problem at all,
small border crossing and a really fun man who did the paperwork and
we were in! THEN we got on the wrong roads, really bad signs, and
somehow finished on the outskirts of Tijuana – not where we wanted
to be, but at least we got to see the suburbs of Tijuana and finally
got on the right road. Slow going mountain roads saw us getting later
and later – darkness fell, and they say don’t travel in the dark
– but Jamie, bless him – got out twice to ask directions and
finally we found it. Totally off the beaten track but quite busy.
Time for wine and beer to celebrate arriving in Mexico!

| The wall to keep us in Mexico! |
The
northern Baja peninsular has been mountainous but as we moved further
south the desert became more prominent with endless, varied cactus.
We went through 3 military checkpoints with no checks then the
fourth, we all had to get out of the vehicle and they checked inside
the truck and in all the cupboards in the trailer, then wished us a
happy vacation. They have all been real friendly even though they
don’t speak English much and we are getting by with smiles, gracias
and hola!
