Mexico

This part of Mexico began in Baja California Sur through the Tijuana border crossing. I would travel all the way through Baja to La Paz, before crossing by ferry into Mazatlan on the mainland and then go south and then from West to East to enter Belize. The trip would take over a month and cover 5000 miles. Baja California Sur, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California Sur, is the second-smallest Mexican state by population and the 31st admitted state of the 31 states which, with the Mexico City, make up the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. (from Wikipedia)

Mexico is Officially the United Mexican States is a federal republic in the southern half of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea. Covering almost two million square kilometers (over 760,000 sq mi) It is the sixth-largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent nation in the world. With an estimated population of over 120 million, it is the eleventh most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world while being the second most populous country in Latin America.

I had fallen in love with just about everything related to this country, the people, communities, food and spirit of Mexico. Yes, I had seen all the news articles, been mocked by friends saying that my head would be separated from my body and all that stuff.

Ride Day 17: La Paz to Mazatlan to Puerto Vallarta by Motorbike

I have included my trip across the Gulf of California from La Paz to Mazatlan onboard the Baja Ferry Service to Puerto Vallarta. As this is kind of like a border crossing, I will give as much information as I can. If you have no done some research, there are quite a few horror stories relating to the Baja Ferries service. I, however, had a pretty fantastic experience.

Ride Day 14: Mulegé, to La Paz, Baja California Sur by Motorbike

My journey from Mulegé to La Paz took me around 8 hours with the first part of the trip spectacularly sweeping along the Atlantic Ocean. I was starting to get into the trip, getting better at packing and unpacking the bike, finding better places to stay, what and where to eat and no longer feeling like I had been through the ringer after each day’s ride.
