Day 168. Tuesday 14th Jan. Rancho Buganvillias RV Camp, La Placita. Michoacan. Mexico.

It’s another hot sticky night. I guess the further south we go, the warmer it will get. We are looking forward to the cooler climes on Southern Chile right now.  It’s a pain not having a working fridge, so Tim suggested we strip it down and see if we can…

Day, 167. Monday, 13th January. Boca de Pascuales to Rancho Bougainvillea

A peaceful night under the coconut palms. Or, more correctly in a space among the trees, so no coconuts could fall on us. We were on the road by 10.00am, heading south. The Michoaocan coast is reputed to be the most beautiful coastal drive in Mexico. We have been advised…

Day 166. Sunday 11th Jan. Tokkiero Beach to Boca de Pascuales. Mexico

We woke to a glorious morning. It’s our plan to move on today. Objective, the city of  Manazanliio.  Looking around the beaches and bays on both sides of the promontory we are camped on, there are signs of future development. White topped painted sticks poked into the ground seeming to…

Day 165. Saturday, 11th January. Tokkiero. Mexico

We are spending the day at Tokkiero, south of Chalacatepec on the Pacific coast. Dennis spent the morning checking out our electrical wiring, to try and get the fridge working. A necessity in this climate. I have done some washing, but water is an issue. We have 20 litres for…

Day 164. Friday 10th Puerto Vallerta to Tokkiero Lighthouse. Jalisco Province.

Our camp site last night was in a truck and bus park that they achieve some additional income from allowing campers to park. It’s surrounded by big hotels but has toilets and showers, of a kind. Occasionally there is water in both. The beach is about 50m away. We had…

Day 163. Thursday, 9th January, 2020. Chacala to Puerto Vallarta. Mexico.

Well I’m back again. I arrived yesterday, in body, but was a complete zombie. The journey back was smooth and uneventful. Checked all the way through from Heathrow to Puerto Vallarta, so an easy connection in Mexico City. Best of all, Dennis and Poki were outside the arrival terminal to…

Day 161/162. Wednesday 8th. Chacala Beach. Mexico

Day 161 Tuesday 7th. It’s a nice flat grassy campsite but so close to the water that the surf crashing against the wall below us was deafening.  We were packed up and on our way by 8.30am. Sarah has found a beach site on the overland app that has good…

Days 159/160. Monday 6th January. Aqua Verde Mazatlan to San Blas. Mexico

Day 159. 5th Jan It was a leisurely assembly this morning. A lovely setting, right on the beach but we decided to move on by 10am and get closer to Mazatlan. That gives us only another 400+ k’s to Puerto Vallarta. It’s the airport that Jen will be flying into…

Days 157/8. 3rd January. On a beach 60k’s North of Mazatlan.

Day 157. 2nd Jan. It’s 8.30pm and we have just enjoyed a lovely evening in chairs around a fire. I even managed to cook myself, an amazing Gordon Blue meal. Sausages, eggs on toast with mushrooms and a big mug of hot tea. Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out…:) Back…

Day 156/7. 1st & 2nd January 2020. Maranatha Campsite to Playa El Tecolote. La Paz, Baja.

Wed. 1st January. Happy New Year to all. Well, the morning flew by. I was just finishing breakfast when there was a knock on the front of Poki. A Frenchman, Rom, must have seen the Landy from the other end of the camp site and came to say Hi! He…
