• Rosarito

    10. november 2022, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We had somehow managed to end up in a little mountainous area where the temperature dropped down to 0 degrees during the night. So we got up at 06:30 to a frozen windshield and cold wind.
    But that couldn't keep us from driving the remaining hour to the Mexican border. We had informed us a bit upfront what we need and how the procedure works. After parking and walking up to the border I got my visa quickly but we couldn't go back and get Ruedi 🥲 A US border patrol said that he saw us crossing but we're not allowed to go walk back there but need to use the proper way 🙈 So it took us half an hour to be back at Ruedi and to be able to take him across the border. The process was pretty chaotic but after about 1 1/2 hours completed and we were on our way to Rosarito, a quaint little beach town not very far from the border.

    BIENVENIDO A MÉXICO 🇲🇽

    And we had planned to spend some time at the beach but there was an intense storm that made even just walking on the sand uncomfortable. So we just walked a few steps (dipping a toe in the water) and then went to grab lunch. There was sooo much I wanted to try but decided on scrambled eggs with a local speciality meat( huevos con machaca). And it was delicious! I can't wait to try more... The temperatures are rising now pretty fast, we had over 20 degrees today!

    Afterwards we decided to cross Baja California to the eastern side because there are some spots we want to check out. We didn't expect anything from the way there so we were surprised by beautiful hills, endless cacti gardens and an interesting red/green coloured landscape.

    For the night we drove further South along the coast to a campsite.
