Sunday 17th July Dolphins and dirt tracks I had a really good sleep in my massive bed, and woke in the morning rather hungry. I think my brain had been using up a lot of calories trying to function in Spanish! Being a Sunday everywhere appeared to be closed, but after a short walk I…

Part of the gang: El Pescadero to Cabo San Lucas
Saturday 16th July El Pescadero to Cabo San Lucas I say tried to get some sleep as I found it near on impossible, what with the heat, barking dogs and odd car driving past. I must have got some sleep eventually though, as the chorus of cockerels woke me up around 6am. I couldn’t get…
Southbound: La Paz to El Pescadero
Friday 15th July La Paz to El Pescadero After five nights in La Paz, I decided it was time to leave and explore the very southern portion of the peninsula. My first destination was Todos Santos, which was only 80km’s away on a main road. Knowing that I didn’t have far to go I didn’t…
The last push to La Paz: Ciudad Constitucion to La Paz
Sunday 10th-14th July Cuidad Constitucion to La Paz Despite leaving the hotel before Ed, he still managed to overtake me a bit further up the road. I tend to stick to around 75kph these days, to help preserve my engine, plus I find it’s a more relaxing speed. However I…
My name is Rachel, and I have an addiction to swimming pools: Playa Requeson to Ciudad Constitucion
Saturday 9th July We woke early in the morning to a gorgeous sunrise, and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet that comes with being in such a tranquil location. Well that was until our distant neighbours, nicknamed Armin Van Fuckface by Ed, decided to whack their shitty dance music up full blast while…
Willy good fun in the water: San Ignacio to Playa Requeson
Friday 8th July Having had our fix of luxury for the time being, it was time to leave San Ignacio and continue our journey to the east coast. Despite enjoying the last few days together we still wanted to ride separately, something that was confirmed to me the day before when we were riding round…
A Desert Oasis: Guerrero Negro to San Ignacio
Wednesday 6th July to Thursday 7th July After a lazy start and a well deserved lie-in for Ed, we packed up the bikes and headed off in different directions, at least at first. Ed needed to top up his phone in town, and I was headed to the town of San Ignacio. I…
To die or dine, that is the question: Catavina to Guerrero Negro
Tuesday 5th July I have to say that I absolutely love my new tent. I ended up buying the one man MSR Hubba nx, which is really easy to put up and just the right size for me and my stuff. You can also have the mosquito net part up without the outer, which is…
Cactus ahoy! San Quintin to Catavina
Mon 4th July San Quintin to Catavina So after a fun weekend together, it was time for me and Ed to say farewell to each other before parting ways again. It’d been good to see each other, however we were both keen to head off on our own, but little did we know that we’d…
The Polish Interception: Ensenada to San Quintin
Friday 1st July to Monday 4th July After my extremely leisurely breakfast and mini guided tour, it was gone 2pm when I finally left Ensenada. As my destination for the day wasn’t far and I had plenty of hours of daylight left, I decided to check out a tourist attraction around 40km’s south of Ensenada…
