Day 3 On to Guerrero Negro

And a cold night it was - not freezing, but close. Heading down to Guerrero Negro today. The highway is very narrow so passing 18 wheelers heading north is a bit tense – no shoulder on the road, and often a big drop-off.




Desert changing and is becoming less green with fewer plants.




Went through a military checkpoint, agricultural inspection ( no fruit or vegetables taken across.) and immigration where we got our tourist card. Then on into the town of Guerrero Negro ( black warrior ) named after a ship that sunk in the harbour.

Day 4

Whale watching today. The Grey whales migrate from Alaska to the lagoon here to birth their calves. We saw many ( or the same one ) quite often, just the blowing and the backs. It was rough in the little boats, and was very, very cold.


Came back and had a quiet afternoon and dinner in the home
