Heading South in Baja

We continued to head south in Baja and crossed the State line into Baja Sur. This meant we had to put our clocks forward an hour only to put them back a couple of days later with the removal of daylight saving time. We stopped for lunch at Santa Rosalia before pulling in at the picturesque Playa Santispac to spend a couple of days on the beach. Whilst there were not many facilities the main pull was the water and the beach. And for 6 dollars a night what could you expect.

This was very friendly and had all the facilities so we were able to get washing done. In the afternoon we wondered into town where Gilly and I had our first Mexican margarita.

We checked into the Aquamarina RV Park and whilst the girls did schooling I headed into town to find the 2 ferry offices. No one at the ferry offices spoke any English so it was time for me to habla Espanyol again. Anyway I think I have it all worked out. We will know tomorrow when I go to pick up the tickets.
