Los Mochis
The ferry took considerably longer than I expected and it is very late when I arrive in Topolobampo. I don’t want to drive after dark, because there is a risk of banditry and the roads are not the safest anyway during the day! As a consequence I will have to find somewhere as quickly as possible.
When I go through the security checkpoint on the way out of the port the policeman just wants to know which football team I support when I explain I am from the UK. When I tell him Liverpool he gets quite excited and starts raving about Steven Gerrard for a couple of minutes all the while holding up the queue of traffic from the boat. It is an amusing welcome to the mainland and he wishes me well on my way.
There isn’t much at the port town and the next one along is called Los Mochis where I find a motel as soon as I can. At least I think it is a motel, the guy at the entrance was talking very fast and I only caught some of what he said.
When I pull up in the parking space next to my room a curtain is drawn to obscure my car from view. He then wanted to know how many hours I wanted the room for and when I get inside my room has a mirrored ceiling so I am not entirely convinced that I am not staying in a house of ill repute!
No indecent proposals yet though.

Hey Rob, just loving your around the world adventures! Mirrored ceilings eh? Yes I think you would be perfectly within your rights to question the repute of such an establishment! If mirrors could tell stories I’m sure there would be a few!! lol! You enjoy yourself there! lol! xx
It was actually quite a surprise to wake up and see a full length view of myself in the morning. Before my eyes adjusted to being awake I thought there was somebody else in the room!
