Cabo Pulmo

We've had a beautiful morning at our beach parking spot and prepared some coffee for breakfast. Then we went into town to see if we can get a snorkel tour in the morning. And after a few shops we got lucky, a couple from Alaska just arrived and they were also looking for a tour. So after half an hour we were all set and headed out to overall 4 spots, each with around 30 minutes. The water is crystal clear and there is a huge variety of colourful fishes 🐠🐡🪸🐟 It is a bit too early to see grey whales but maybe we'll get a chance further South. The snorkel instructor pointed to a bull shark 🦈 close by but we were too slow to see it. But we saw a few turtles 🐢 and sea lions 🦭. It was a fun, exciting guided tour and the town is very inviting (despite the difficult drive).

Then we made our way to La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, to make arrangements for the ferry transport to the Mexican mainland. The drive was pretty scenic winding through mountains and little villages. The city isn't that big and navigating through the traffic was pretty relaxed. Also the booking process was done very quick, so we had time to get something to eat and then explore the city's highlights. I've finally tried ceviche (raw fish and seafood that is "cooked" by the acidic lemon juice) and it was great!
We walked along the beautiful made waterfront stretching for kilometers and enjoyed the warm weather. There are a lot of sculptures along the way inviting to read. After a quick stop at the hotel for a shower we went to a bar for drinks, snacks and seeing a bit of the nightlife.Read more
