Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus and much headwinds

We got up early in order to avoid the heat and get a long stretch done today. We hoped for tailwinds of course. However, reality was different and we had to fight pretty strong headwinds all day. The route wasn't too bad: high plains, some mountains around, a canyon, many cactuses. The area here is VERY dry. You don't find any water except for bottled water in the minimarkets. Therefore, we have to plan days like today carefully, so we always have enough to drink.
Despite the headwinds, we cycled 162km to a campground on the East side of Baja where we could pitch our tent right at the beach.Les mer
