Vu explore the area on my GS while I just seat back and enjoy the view



Like I said pictures won't do justice here, you have to be here to really enjoy what Baja provide.
Home away from home :wink: This is what I call a little house with a big backyard :thumbsup:


I like to camp here but Vu said no :jaw: he prefer hot shower and clean toilet ound:
I guess I have to return without him :rofl:

Al and his KTM

My GS

Well our beach day is over....We have to head back to town before the sun down :sad: remember no riding at night :nono:
Heading back for our dinner arangment. The night before Rosa feel bad for not having Taco so she offer to cook a special dish for us. (Stuff fish)
Suppose to be a very popular dish and should be very tasty....Will have to find out

Racing with the sun and my twin still following me

More twisty :bravo:

As you can see the shadow is getting longer

Nice ride and nice view

I love this place :love:

 

Racing with the Sun again :wink:

Found a short cut thru town arty2: this will avoid the topes and check point :wink:


Make it back to town before dark Yeyyyyy........

Freshing up and heading out to see Rosa at the tacos stand
Alex is very excited for dinner He is craving for fish

The two cannot wait

Here is Rosa waititng for our arrival

Getting the foods ready for her special customers :wink:

Here it is, fresh catch of the day

Looking goooooood cannot wait :hungry:

Let the :dinkers: begin

Fresh totilla, rice and been yummmmmm



I hope the foods and drinks will not bore you guys ound:

This is the best dinner ever :thumbsup:
The dinner and all the drinks only cost 650 peso. We gave them 1000 peso for their excellent service and a wonderful meal.

 

After dinner we head back to the motel so we can plan for tomorrow ride.
We stop by the restaurand La Casista to seat down have a drink maybe three ound:
The owner Javier set us up by the fire plate so we can work on our plan. Javier is a great guy and his service is top notch. Any issue arise with the room or at the restaurant him and his staff would fix it right away. The price for the room a bit high here but Javier did bend backward to give Alex and Allyson a good deal since they will be staying for another ten days. From $40 for the room he only charge them $25 with breakfast :jaw: I was shock and wish I can stay longer
Here is Javier and us in his restaurant

Javier is setting up Kareoke while I am trying to set up Alex spot and Vu trying to set up his camera blue tooth link to his phone.......Nice to have full service eh
(I cannot find any pictures for tonight will try to edit later on).
So the plan for tomorrow is ride straight to La Paz and stay the night there. It will be a long boring ride cutting thru the desert so I ask Alex to leave at 7AM
I thought this would be tough for them but low and be hold they are up at 5 am packing :hss:

 

Day 5

Destination La Paz
:vtr2: Today will be a long boring ride............
Waking up early and getting ready
Bikes are load, chain are lube :thumb:





My trusty Black Jamiacan girl patiently waiting for the open roads

Heading out as the sun sneaking up from the horizon


We stop by at the Pemex to fill up our gas, the total cost for two bike is 230 pesos. I gave the attendance 500 bill and waited for my change
He came back with the change, I counted and noteced it short 70 pesos.......WTbeeeeeeeeeeeep The kid try to pull the quick one on me :chairshot:
I keep my hand out and demand more pesos he have me a 20 and look at me I still have my hand out waiting for more.......He then drop another 20 pesos on my hand. I am getting tired of his game so I just put the pesos in my pocket and get going. It is only few dollars so I wasn't to
I went and talk to Alex that I will head out first and will reconnect in La Paz. Adio Amigos off we went.........
The sun is out and we still have many miles to cover

The ride from Mulege to Loreto is not bad at all, a lot of twisty and very beautiful. The coast is on the right, the mountain and the desert is on the left.
The view are rapidly changing so make our ride much enjoyable




Pee stop and pictures time ound:

Love the morning in Baja, we have the road to ourself

I don't have to worry about LEO or traffic just the animals here :jaw:

Vu is all freshing up and ready to ride



Today will be warm :numbness:


The view is just Amazing

Vu is still very much energetic

:hss: Ok I was happy but not now........More construction I was worry free for the last few days :biggrin:

 

Vu from the rear.....


Passing thru Loredo and found a look out, pull over to take some photos :wink:

Great place for fishing and diving





Mr Bear is still with us :wink:

Vu is a happy camper, very proud of him. He did well for a noob :thumb:

Jackie in Loredo



Vu is making fun of Jackie :chairshot:

Back on the road

The landscape still green :thumb:

Still enjoy the Scenery


Anther shot of Vu

We look good ound:

The weather getting hot so Vu and I pull over one of the roadside memorial to have a drink and stretch our legs

You will find many of this along the way........:jaw: they must have kill by animal on the road or speed :noidea:



The two Samurai

It was hot and I look axhausted at one point I have to soak a towle with water and wrap around my neck to cool down.

Making progress we are about half way to La Paz, stop by Ciudad Constitucion for a quick bite and go over the map and our route



We almost there

After fill up with gas, foods and water we are heading back on the road, this time the landscape is now turn to brown and flat :sad:

Very boring and empty

Vu does not seem to mind ound:


This is how I kill time and add up the miles :rofl:

 

Communication is very important


We arrive in La Paz and found the city under major construction and traffic were horrible.
We stop and try to find a print shop to print more sticker for Vu and myself but they wont be ready for couple days
We look around town but we did not feel the love so we decided to push on to Cabo eace:
Vu were mention about taking hi way 19 to Toro Santo and some how I thought he want to go over San Jose de cabo and come up to Todos Santo the next day
so I took him to a long way over the mountain and back into Sea of Corte. The route is awesome but it is 44 miles longer than original plan and we are ran out of day light :scared: I was a little upset and tired and try to keep Cool
Beautiful Church along the way

Too bad we have no time to check it out we have to reach Cabo before dark


Not much picture after this cause we are pushing on to Cabo :sentimental:

 

We finally arrive in Cabo and it is dark, the town is full of Canadian and American. I feel like I am in Vegas :jaw:
Rode around to find a place to park and look for a motel......Take us for a while due to the traffic in town
Spot a Mc Donald so pull in and check to see if they have Wifi available......No luck.
Before the trip I contacted Verizon to have International service but some how it did not work at all. As I was resting next to my friend Donald checking the phone and all the emails and texts start to roll in :hss:

I saw a text from one of the inmate on ADV that I have try to make contact during the trip but did not receive any response due to my phone service. Open up the text and the message wrote "room 1033" Awesome just perfect arty2: arty2:
Ok so before our trip I saw a message from Randy one of the inmate on ADV heading down to Cabo as well and he got a condo in Hacienda Del Mar for a week and He is offer to share the place. Set the location on my GPS and off we went to search for the resort. Got lost for about 15 min finally we found the resort and talk about massive :jaw:
The resort is tuck away from the town and gated with security. Gave the guard the room number and off we went without any trouble. Checking in the lobby and the front desk lady tell me to check in on the other side for time share. One of the bell boy offer to take me on the cart, this is getting better and better :wink: He drop me off at the right lobby walk in and call Randy and he answer the phone Great arty2: few minutes later he came down and help us with the gears and show us where to park our bikes.
And this is our room for the next few days .........Woooooo.......Hoooooooo

In room Jacuzzi arty2:

View looking out to the Balcony

Fully furnish kitchen.......Yeahhhhh

View from the Balcony :wink:

 

I feel like I'm riding along with you guys. Has been over 20 years since I rode some of the roads you rode.
Not as many gas places or places to eat back in the day, but it was a memorable trip for me. Keep on writing.

 

I am sure there are change in the big city but most of the small villages are remain the same.
Glad you enjoy the report, will try to finish up soon

 

I feel sorry for that poor little dog that had to pull that boat out of the water. I sure hope the boat owner didn't make the dog tow the boat too unless his outboard was out of gas.

 

Cabo wooooooooooo....hoooooooooooo


After settle in and after cleaning ourself up we now hungry and ready to explore Cabo :wink:
Talk to Randy and he recommended a Taco place not too far from the resort, sound good let's go
Since Randy provided us the condo, Vu and I will be treating him with foods and drinks for the next couple days :thumb:
After a short drive we arrived at the local Taco stand. They have all different kind of taco from fish to steak shirmp octopuss......You name it they have it.
Randy and I order couple fish and couple shirmp taco and a cold beer :wink: As for Vu he just order one of each on the menu.....:hss: Damn the boy can eat :scared:
(Cannot find pictures for tonight will have to edit later)
Found the pictures woooooo....hoooooooo
Here it is


The tacos are Amazing :hungry:


After a great dinner and a good night rest, time to explore Cabo.
Randy took us to the Marina to check out the activity and looking for deal on fishing and diving. We spend half a day just to goof off and bargain for our fishing trip.
Have a quick bite at one of the restaurant in the Marina we decided to take a water taxi to see the famous Arch. For $15 dollars per person you can ride a glass bottom boat to the Arch and back took about 45 min tour.

Here is our Captain Daniel, great guy and speak real good English which is a plus ound:

The view of the Marina fill up with some massive Yatch



All of the Yatch have their own Cruise and Chef. :scared: talk about filty rich
Oh and this is my Yatch ound:



Cruise ship drop off tourist

Head out to see the famous Arch

This Seal name Pancho and he is famous at the Marina for free hand out :wink:
He would hoovering around the Marina waiting for fishing boat return and hand out left over bait, lucky bastard

This is call Love Beach I will let your imagination on this one

You can see the fish from the glass bottom, I rather be in the water if I want to see fish :bored:

We are on the Sea of Corte side

Here is the Arch view from the Sea of Corte




Vu like a kid in a candy store ound:

According to the Captain this Cave is called the family cave. The couple enter the Cave from the Love beach and Exit here with a baby ound:

The Arch view from the Pacific side :wink:



The local call this rock as a witch rock, they claim the rock look like the face of the witch :crazy:

Here is the closes up view, pay attention to the top right. Let me know if you see the face.....


And this rock would be the last piece of land from Cabo San Lucas

The tour is over now heading back to the Marina ound: If you enjoy the tour please leave us some tips......

Any of you reconize the dude...?

I saw the show right before the trip.
Vu feeding him some Pacifico ound:

Nice thing about Mexico you can buy beers and drink while walk around town
I was going to pick some of this for Toe but worry about Cavity search on the way back :rofl:

 

After the Marina we stop by the bank to withdraw more Pesos $$$$$ and get some drinks :boink:
There is a Liquor store called Eutopea similar to Bevmo in the state. Great place to shop for drinks, as we enter they have Taquilla sample table and it open all you can drink :jaw:
You should see Vu eyes :whoo: He was shock to see all the bottles and no one around......Freaking noob
After several tasting we pick up few bottles and some mix, Vu will be our Bartender tonight :drinkers:
On the way back we decided to stop by the taco shop and have early dinner so we can drinks ound:
Still early when we arrive at the resort so we take a stroll check out the place. Climp up the bell tower to view the surrounding



The forcast suppose to be rain and windy, you can see the sky getting darker :nono:

Lucky for us we did not book for fishing or diving otherwise we would be sea sick like a Dog
No activity so Vu offer to cook us some dinner in return I would do the laundry. So Vu head in to town to shop and print stickers
I would go down to the laundry room and wash clothes. By noon choir are done so we hit the pool and beach

Not much sun but we did not mind, we will enjoy every minute here cause tomorrow we will have to head back to San Diego before Christmas with our family.



Vu is enjoy the pool and chat with the Activity guy.

After talking to the guy we learn he was a former gang member in East coast MS13 something like that. He was a wild one and have been shot several time :scared:
Few months prior he decided to quit the gang and they told him he better run far away and do not return or else :2guns:
The kid and his white girl friend are now hide out in Cabo, they go to church and try to be a better person. Good to see a happy ending story :thumb:

Check out for damaged and found few scratches on the fairing. Thanks god nothing major


After release our pressure Vu went and place our sticker at one of the poll :wink:


Back on the road our next stop is Ciudad Constitucion
The ride there seem to be faster than the time we head down to Cabo, maybe because we are well rest from the last few days

The twisty continue...

Make it back to Bahia De Concepcion, have to stop in to check on my girl Coco

 

I feel so wonderful just to be back in this area, I don't know why :noidea: Maybe the people, maybe is the slow paste
Not sure what is the reason, I don't really care I just want to chill and enjoy whatever left.

The bikes seem to be happy to be here as well ound:


Our girls so happy to see us, time for celebrate :drinkers:


Mexican Cowboy, Vu and Coco's Mom she is a sweetheart

After couple beers we head back to Mulege to meet up with Alex and Allyson
Before we left Mulege to Cabo I check out the motel La Hacienda and promise the owner I would return. I kept my promise and checking in at Hacienda
Meet the owner (I cannot remember his name as the moment) too many :drinkers:

The man is soft spoken and speak fairly good English, we talk for good hour find out he just came back from La Paz visiting his kids on a Honda Shadow :scared:
He claim it was cold and wet ........Poor guy he did not have proper gears like we do. One of his kid is a lawyer and the other is study Architech in La Paz unniversity.
I ask him if he have a wrench to loan me to drain the oil on the GS, He said he will ride home and get the wrench for me. I thanks him and excuse to get ready for dinner.
Vu and I suppose to go to a restaurant recommended by the Motel Owner but end up stop by Rosa to have more tacos.
