After the whale watching it is already 1pm but I decide to drive south as far as I can to make up some time. There is a super point break called Scorpion Bay further down the west coast which I was really looking forward to surfing, but the lovely people at Mario’s tours told me I should give the road a miss with the little green surf machine. Finally some common sense is sinking in so I do so, missing its inhabitants too so not all bad.
I am keeping an eye on the oil level for obvious reasons but the bug and I are flying today carving up endless desert roads and mountain passes. Other than that there is not much to report here because I have to cross the 500 miles of the Desierto Vizcaino in order to get towards La Paz, so I just put the hammer down. I fall back in love with my troublesome car though, as the two of us eat up the miles together.
The road south was awesome and managed to get all the way south to Ciudad Constitucion despite not leaving Guerrero Negro until 1pm. The scenery was simply breath taking and if I had more time would have stayed longer, but I was keen to move as far south as I could while on the Sea of Cortes side of the peninsular. Also think I will be giving the Cabo end a miss to catch a ferry across to the mainland from La Paz and then get ahead of the game for the rest of my Mexican leg of the travels. A baja surf will have to wait for a 4X4 on another trip.
Here are the highlight snaps from the bay of Conception, the desert and the Sea of Cortes coast now that I am on the East side of the peninsular:
