 We are just picking up the tent and then Oli saw something moving and here's a little mini mini baby scorpion And you can't even see it properly, you know when I'm not pointing at it He's really really small Rosie. There he is Hello, he's moving. Oh, there he goes Macroscopian To be fair, that's probably a venomous scorpion and I think we should probably not get too close Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 388 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. Good morning bumblebee. Good morning bumblebee We're here in Baja, California in Mexico and we're surrounded by a billion cactuses and other crazy trees like this one Which I've never ever ever seen anything like in my life Yeah, the landscape here is just mind-blowing really you feel like you're on Mars or somewhere else Yeah, it's like a real-life botanical garden out here. It's insane but actually it should have been a really comfortable night, but I Didn't sleep that well because every time a truck or a car was coming past on the highway Which is only about a hundred meters ahead of us. I was always thinking that they were gonna like pull up here Come and I don't know mess with us or tell us off or the police coming or something I don't know I was just a little bit paranoid last night and I kept like kept like waking up every time a truck came past Well, I was sleeping with earplugs. So my night was actually quite alright. Yeah, because I was on lookout. That's why I was watching out for us and bumblebee But it is our last big ride in Mexico today. So let me show you guys where we're headed. So we are Here and today we're going to be continuing our way up the Baja California peninsula Turning off of the one here at Chapala to the Gulf of California side Continuing up there and then cutting across on the three to the town of Ensenada Yes, it will be a long long ride today Google Maps Estimate six hours. It is already eight o'clock. So better hit the road. Let's go. I just wanted to Take you guys on a little walk around this morning. Just look at this crazy place. Look at this tree It's got like thorns and tiny little leaves growing Never seen anything like it and then you've got so many different species of cactuses You've got this crazy little one here and then the biggest cactuses I've ever seen in my whole life. Look at this Look at this cactus. It's like These must be about I don't know 10 meters tall Really, I'm not a good judge of meters, but really that is Absolutely massive and there's so many of them around as well. I don't know what it is about this place Particularly but but this just seems to be the place that the cactuses love It's a bit soft Really what a crazy place to spend the night. I mean it really is like another planet So we've gone back to the jackets this morning after like ages since the last time we wore these jackets Hey, I think it was like somewhere in Peru. It's pretty cold. We're on the Pacific side of the Baja California Peninsula and on the Pacific side of the Baja California Peninsula And on the Pacific side, it's like 10 degrees colder than on the inland side on the Gulf of California side And it's like I mean, what's the bike registering at the moment the bike is saying? Suzuki 15 degrees. Yeah, 15 degrees is definitely not just t-shirt riding weather. No, so we're gonna wear the jackets to start off with We are on the Pacific side for now We are on the Pacific side for now, then we head into the inland side and we will be a good chunk for today in the inland side Actually going up, but then we cross back over. Yeah, so we'll be cold hot cold cold hot cold. I can't wait Oh, yeah We're ready for yeah Let's hit the road. All right Goodbye most beautiful camp and thank you cactuses for your company. Yeah, wow, I don't think we will ever Stay in a place like that again. I mean what a unique place to spend the night I've never ever seen a place like that in my life I mean, this is like one of those unique places in the world Hey, like just one of these places that are just like like nowhere else and like another planet. Yeah amazing Oh So we stopped here because I thought on the map there was a petrol station because it says Pemex But actually it's just this truck which says gasolina and I think they've got like Like fuel cans in the back Hola buenas para para cien cien pesos See Okay, yeah, okay, okay, so how far is that? Cien kilometer, okay, should we go there? Let me see where we are Okay, okay perfect. Gracias. Gracias So we're not really sure if the guy had any fuel for us in the end But he said that there's a petrol station, which is about 60 miles up ahead So as long as that petrol station exists, then we should be all good Look how open and wild this place is absolutely crazy There's like no development here. No houses. No warehouses. No industry It's just cactuses That is pretty awesome It's like Patagonia with cactuses Wow, but it's 12 degrees at the moment. Yeah, I can't wait to go back to the inlet side Have 30 degrees and being sweaty Real doesn't have fuel it looks real. Let's see. I mean that looks pretty good, but there's no person But I see there's a door open, so Come on, come on, come on And he's moving Hola Beautiful Gracias, chau. Adios. So that must have been a pretty thin part of the peninsula because we have already reached the other side, the Gulf of California, and it's 25 degrees now. So it's gone up by 13 degrees. That's why we've chosen to ride on this side of the island because there's actually two roads we could have taken up to Ensenada. There was the one which runs along the Pacific side and there was the five and then turning off to the three and we kind of chose this side specifically because it is a warmer side so it's just going to be a lot more of a pleasant ride and it is pretty pleasant right now so I'm happy. So we just came off the highway to have a little break and we're just seeing if we can get down to the water to have a nice spot for a nice taco or sandwich. Taco or sandwich? Not quite sure. If it's like our proper lunch then taco. If it's just a snack break then okay let's go around here shall we? Where's this going? Yeah it's sort of a little hut here. I don't know if somebody's here but I think we'll just go up here and park up. Yeah just off the beach. Nice cool yeah let's check it out. Cool let's see if we can spot some whales. Wow that is a beautiful bit of coastline. Wow. And this big rock there in front of us? Yeah. Oh look look look look look look. Oh wow. Some sort of trilobite. It looks like here has been on this planet for quite a while. Yeah there are fossils literally look exactly like this fella. Wow nice. Wow. Oh my god. Nice lunch with the view. I'm so impressed with this peninsula because it looks so different all the time. Yeah I mean now we're in like this crazy rocky coastal thing going on. The landscape on this peninsula has changed like a thousand times and each time it's just so surprising and so impressive. I mean look at this. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. So we're just coming up to the town of San Felipe. Wow look how many pelicans here are. Are those all pelicans? Yes. Wow cool. They're all flying there with their long peaks. Oh they look so funny. Bienvenidos a Felipe. Muchas gracias. Muchas gracias. All right so we've got ourselves filled up and that should take us all the way to the end of the day to Ensenada. Ensenada or enchilada? So we have about 155 miles left which is about three hours. We will cross again the peninsula here so it should be a quite nice ride hopefully. I'm excited to see some cactuses again. Oh my god there's some lizards. No. Three lizards. Yeah they were like all right it's safe guys let's go. It absolutely wasn't safe. I'm so glad they all didn't just dart out at the last minute. Yeah we didn't squish a single lizard. In fact I would be almost sure we haven't squished a whole lizard since we started this trip. Yeah I don't mean a whole lizard I mean we haven't squished any part of a lizard since we started this trip. Oh look there's the military. So we should have one awesome last stretch before leaving Mexico and that is this in front one last time over the mountains to get over to I keep wanting to say Ensenada now. Ensenada. Ensenada just been salad over to Salad Town. Yes I would like to eat some salad. Well I heard that's the place to get it. So we're just stopping for our last break of the day. We have done 257 miles and we've got about 70-80 miles to go until we reach Ensenada. Still absolutely beautiful around look at this. I mean not here there's a ton of rubbish here at this little layby. I don't know how we managed to stop at the rubbish layby but anyway still a beautiful landscape all around but come and have a look at this. This is what we're having to deal with on the road at the moment. Look at these potholes and there's a lot of them as well so we've just been sort of snaking our way trying to avoid this but yeah having to go a little bit more careful. I'm always just really scared that we damage the rim. Yeah you know because sometimes it's like yeah yeah. I mean the suspension is very very bouncy but it's okay. So yeah we're just having our last break here. We've got some beautiful bean mayonnaise avocado pepper and hot sauce sandwiches because we've run out of tortillas so now we're just making sandwich tortillas. It's currently nearly four o'clock so yeah we've got to eat these sandwiches and make a move because tomorrow we've got to get an early start because it's a very important day because it's the day we're going to try and cross the border into the US. Exactly and we have to look nice and fresh and organized because we're actually not organized because we have actually one paper missing and we are hoping that they just wave us through so we have to show us tomorrow from our best side. Yeah we were we still haven't received that letter from the Environmental Protection Agency that is apparently required to cross the border but like we said in the previous episode we decided that we're just going to go for it. We've chosen to go to a smaller border than the main border in Tijuana. The border we're going to is called Tecate. So yeah we definitely need to get a good night tonight so that we can be super fresh super on it and we'll get through. Exactly. Oh look there's actually trees here. Wow totally different landscape. It's like the final surprise for Baja. Yeah. It's like hey guys here you go. I'll leave you with some green rolling hills in forest. Thanks Baja. We made it to Ensenada. Yes. Yes. 321 miles later. Crazy stuff. Yeah it's been a lot of big rides and I am knackered. Yeah and because of that I actually just oh something going on here. Oh my lord. Okay. Yeah. So I actually just checked on booking.com and there was a room available. It said actually no parking but I checked the pictures and the comments and people said oh safe parking here. So this room cost 25 pounds and has really good reviews like the best reviews ever and apparently free breakfast as well. So we were like okay let's take the room let's have a really good rest tonight to calm down to prepare a little bit for tomorrow and yeah maybe even take a shower. Oh my god could we be so lucky. Well it's worth it for the free breakfast because this will be our last Mexican breakfast. Last time we'll ever be offered tacos for breakfast. Oh. Assuming we are going to be offered tacos for breakfast I'll be really disappointed if they're like oh here's the American breakfast and I'm like well we're going to have that when we get to America. No I want them to give us all the traditional toppings all of the beans all of the avocado. I want some guacamole. It was a beautiful end to the Baja Peninsula that last little ride down from the mountains and I've just been blown away by this whole peninsula. It's really like made Mexico for me. Yeah wow favorite absolutely favorite. Yeah one of the coolest sections of riding we've done since like of the whole trip. For sure for sure. So anyway a couple a couple more miles and we should be there at this hotel and have a really really nice last night in Mexico. Yes. Hotel Rose. Fantastic. All right. Okay who's gonna tell Bumblebee the bedtime story tonight. Your call. This is my turn. Okay sweetheart that's just Bumblebee's name. Bumblebee speaks motorbike. No you'll give you'll give her nightmares. Come on then let's do it. Oh my god oh yeah look at this. From all rooms here in Mexico I think this is like really high up there. This is one of our best rooms. Okay the air conditioning looks broken actually but it's nice. It's actually quite cooler here by the coast anyway right so I think we don't even need an AC. Yeah so I'm really happy with that. Perfect.
