Monday april 20.
We where in Messico City for a day waiting for our plane for BCS.
It was cluody and chilly that day but we took a vist to the Cattedral, Zocalo and Palacio Costitucion with Diego Rivera's murales.
We arrived at La Paz in the late afternoon with a beautiful sunset.
We went to our B&B Gemma Inn and eat something on the Malecon waiting for tomorrow morning to get our Jeep 4x4 to search for the Balanda's beach.
Tuesday april 21.
We got our Jeep Liberty 4x4 early this mornig and went directly to Playa Balandra.
What a beautiful bay, the tide was low and from above the hill all the shades of white, green and blue cam out.
This is Stefi and I in the bay.
We stood there for a cuple of hours so I took a lot of fotos and vedeos of the beach there wasn't to many people.
Around 1 o'clock we went to Playa Tecolote. There we had a great lunch with a big bowl of Margaritas, some clams 'chocolate' and fried shrimps on
tacos they where so tasty.
After lunch we took some relax under the sun and Palapas just arriving to the beach with the Jeep neir the coast side.
Before leaving we spent some time talking with Saul who has boats for going to Isla Espiritu Santos and we booked a trip for tomorrow morning at 11.
Everything was on time and so fine.

Tuesday april 21.
So this mornig we took it very easy and arrived a Playa Tecolote around 10 o'clock.
Got some sun and some fotos, waiting for Saul and his friend Sergio for the boat trip on Isla Espiritu Santos.
We was in 16 people for going out so they took two boats. We went with Sergio, a great messican kid who showed us and explained us all about the
Island, even if he spoked spanish we understudied.
Here's Stefi on the boat.
So we went snorking and went swimming with the sea lions had some great time and it was very awsome to see them coming near to you. I have no foto of
them swimming with us.
At the end we arrived at Playa Bonanza, a beautiful Baia with white sand and desert hill sides. We eat some chiviche with tacos.
We got back around 5 o'clock and went to see Playa Balandra again to see how it was in the afternoon when the tide was hide. When we arrived at the
parking we saw many cars and there was even a bus. Infact there was too many people that afternoon so we decided to get home, drink drink a beer and
thake a shower for getting ready for dinner.
We had to get to sleep early because we was leaving for a long trip tomorrow morning for Loreto and Baiha Conception.

Already you've visited my favorite spots - including that restaurant on Playa Tecolote which serves the freshest tasting shrimp in the La Paz area.
I look forward to your report on Bahia Concepcion.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us, pal57.

Mike,
They are from San Marino, a tiny republic ,some distance N/E of Rome, in the mountains. I believe it's part of Tuscany.
He was on a previous thread, asking for advise on traveling in Baja.
Pal57,
Keep the reports coming. We love to hear what Europeans think of our adopted country.
And I know the scenery in your country is hard to duplicate.

Hi to all,
thanks for reading my trip report and I'll be glad to answer all your doubts about where we live.
Hi Vanderberg
you got very close to where my country lies
but it's not in Tuscany but near. Who wants to know more just click on the link below my report and it will bring you to my new forum all about San
Marino and Italy tour guide.
Tomorrow I'm going to write our trip towards Baiha Conception and all of it's beautiful beaches and wonderful people we met.
I made even an two hour vedeo but I'm not sure if I can post it here some moments of our trip. Maybe on youtube.

Wonderful photos. Just think of the odds that a couple from a country of 30,000 people in Europe, would not only hit the high spots of Baja, but would
be posting on this web site. Cool.

Wensday april 22.
Got up early this mornig knowing that the road was very long. Many told us that going to Loreto from La Paz will take only 3 or 3and a half hours, but
it took us really 5 hours to arrive.
We do live in a beautiful place like Italy where the scenery changes from north to south, but I can say that the panorama on Mex 1 is open minded, I
mean that you can ride, ride and ride, straight, straight and straight, listen to some lovely music or just hear the motor of your Jeep runing and
think of nothing. Watching left and right, or straight ahead you will see open spaces of life in desserts and canyons. Asking your self what will
there be after that hill side we make on the road and find out an other long and straight road to ride. That is what I always dream of. Beautiful.
The only pitty of all of it are the TOPES!
We left La Paz early that morning around 7 o'clock. Got some gas at Ciudad Constitucion after an hour we stop for some coffe at a small cafè a long
the road, and after all our cofe stops we had, even in the resturants, we believe that this was the best coffe made by an gentlem old lady.
Here is a foto of a beautiful panorama a long the road.

Pal57,
It is such a joy to hear from European visitors and what their visions were and what they saw in Baja through their own eyes.
The majority of North Americans generally shy away from helping a foreigner who visits Baja. My wife and I, on the other hand, make a point of
introducing ourselves to members of foreign nations we see all over Baja and try to help in language barriers and as a guide when asked. We have met
sooooo many families who have done just as you have...go to Baja and just see what is there.
We have done this long before we even knew the Nomads existed, but now that I know this forum and many of it's members, it has become just as much a
joy in helping foreigners in the name of this forum.
We were all eager to help you, Pal57.
Udo
