Day 10 Vicente Guerrero to es.Ensenada 99 mil


Day 10  Vicente Guerrero to es.Ensenada  99 mil

We have a 9:30am travel briefing - whoohoo we get to sleep in!

This drive was very stressful.  We were going over the most nerve racking roads (steep drop-offs with no shoulder on the road and little or no guardrails.  To top it off, we faced heavy traffic coming from both directions.



At one point the road was 4 lanes (one of the few good ones!!) that was going down to two lanes.  We had two Coca Cola trucks beside and a little behind us as we entered the merge.  Although we were ahead of the coca cola truck, he decided to push ahead and not let us in.  That meant we were pushed off the road.  Thank goodness there was no drop off there, and John had just enough pavement to stop on before hitting a metal pole.  We called them the kamikaze trucks after that.  We were the last of the caravan, and they terrorized the rest of the caravan being very reckless when passing.

Once we got into town it was a little quieter.  To get around here, some locals go via horseback


 
When we pulled into the campground, we were all pleasantly surprised!  The grounds are beautifully landscaped with gorgeous flowers.  There is a pool and hot tub and a fantastic view of the ocean.









One of our fellow travelers made ankle bracelets for all the ladies.  So before dinner we took a picture of our ankles!  (Faces have been cropped to protect the innocent!!)






We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant right on the beach while observing another beautiful sunset.  We walked home exhausted at 8pm!!
