hola amigos and welcome back to Baja bound last episode we crossed the border
into Mexico with a mix of emotions and ended the day by relaxing in a man-made
hot tub on the beach needless to say that was just what the doctor ordered
since then we have driven three hours south along Highway one stopping last
night near El Rosario to camp with some new friends
that's where today's story begins hello there and welcome to our camp spot for
the evening we're starting today off with a beautiful fresh narranha
jugp now funny story... Here I am trying to learn my Spanish again I go up to the
ladies they've got like these big boxes of naranjas and they say that they're
going to be ten pesos for one kilo and I'm thinking it says who go write on it
and I'm like oh yes we're gonna get like fresh orange juice while humans gassing
up he's gonna love this and then she just gives me a bag of oranges no who go
when you make a juice in the Vitamix it's a little on the extra pulp can I
tell them I learnt yesterday sure so we've been practicing Spanish every day
I'm gonna learn a new sentence and yesterday I figured what's something
that will be very very useful parted on me espanol s a meal that the perro
translates to don't tell her make them figure it out he's basically saying his
Spanish is dog shit dog
and then he tried to start saying like it's the poop of chicken the poop of cow
Becca is very funny we had a hoot driving in yesterday buddy PS I think
your sweaters on inside-out or backwards yep put that around there we're on
island time
two essentials so we got some neighbors here good morning neighbors this is
Tripp otherwise known as peanut butter otherwise known as I was calling him
pancake yesterday and this is Missy oh let me go it's the Hangout spot here the
power of social media is so beautiful at moments like yesterday when we were
driving down towards the desert and Danielle and Tommy from slow car fast
call who have we've been following for like I don't know two years yeah we
basically built out our vans and RVs and stuff at the same time they're actually
on their way back Norris from Baja for two months so it's been really fun to
connect with them and chat about like their highlights of Baja and just to
reassure us if you guys watch last video we were feeling a little anxious coming
into Baja but now we're feeling great it was so fun to hang out with everyone
last night and this camp spot was 399 and freaking amazing so I've got my
buddy I've got my teepee I've got my orange juice this is a great day so it
looks like they've got these little public palapas I think they're called
with little barbeque pits and stuff you could bring your car down here and a WC
which stands for opening like that's what I'm working with that's not bad at
all that's your bad that's not bad at all since you're the king of rating
these days what would you rate that experience at attend that experience
this is really kind of cool I never even noticed how we're going what do you mean
we gotta go up the ramp dude it's not the right way oh I was like I never
noticed its earlier that's what
we're just gonna show them quickly the flatscreen so this is their hose this
might look familiar to our last vlog where we showed you Audrey's home
because it is a Toyota this one's not a dolphin but it's kind of the same family
so they've got their bed above the driver and passenger seat and they run
their small business out of here but that's the flat-screen TV look at the
size of that window is not beautiful after but the third message on our last
video we're starting to get a little bit worried people are saying that we need
to get our tourist card back in Ensenada which is three hours away so we're on
the phone we're trying to figure out if this is true or not wait what are we
sure we can get their VIP these guys are speaking dude what is the CIP that's
your import is you're staying longer than seven days you need a tourist
permit but I think or we're thinking you can buy it online and get it stamped at
La Paz so as long as we can do that and get our vehicle thing we'll be fine if
we want to go to Maitland but did you tell them otherwise we're gonna drive
three hours north right now who are you looking at
we're bringing in our miggy's here who speak español beautifully boy Ben what
did what our friends say you have the number of Tijuana here to call them so
she said it called Tijuana okay now we're gonna hand the phone to Jason are
you I'm gonna give it a go but you're my backup I'll try it on bonus that is a
blow on glass I'm go unless I say I'm a tourist and I'm just trying to find out
information on the tourist card and the vehicle registration seeing the highe
pilita don't bankers who's that okay will you transfer me no son canadian mis
amigos estan manejando in Baja in micarta Theresa Esposito this one that
you've tried calling six one two one two three I'm interested all of a sudden if
you miss your fmm you have to drive or fly back to Tijuana Tecate or Mexicali
Ensenada is three hours back and then three hours so six hours total
yes 100% we've been googling and reading threads
and some people say it's possible some people say it depends on the person who
you're dealing with in the pods you could go to the airport you could pay a
$30 fine but we're feeling like it's three and a bit hours north to go to
Ensenada where these guys got their tourist card and maybe it's best to just
go back up there now as opposed to having to drive like 14 plus hours and a
couple of days or a week or even two weeks we
better freaking cross the mainland after we do all that hot good bye amigos
adios the drive has been going fairly well so far we are currently stopped at
a construction site where you wait either
40 minutes on either side you could get lucky and time it perfectly so they
would let you through but I think we're sitting here it's my new friend amigo
Sophie ha ha ha yeah man do it
thank you adios amigo just getting subscribers
while we wait and my buddy's hungry yeah yeah so I got a little hungry hey this
is the best part about being in construction we can just make popcorn I
mean we made lots of popcorn so we're gonna share with our new friend amigo
what popcorn oh thank you no problem on Facebook yeah well go to YouTube just
YouTube yeah that's it boy no subscribe
where do we come from Oh El Rosario and to Ensenada
he's been practicing
they like when I said it's so pretty
that means were doing something right buddy
Wow Wow I'm not amazing when my grandmother passed away my dad actually
said that when he heard the news he looked outside the window and saw the
most beautiful rainbow so for me rainbows are really beautiful symbolic
and kind of have a little extra special meaning so almost 7:00 p.m. that took us
double if not triple the time it should have with potholes and traffic jams and
construction zones we're gonna try to figure some stuff out try to get some
internet we're gonna print this more we gotta get a form we're trying to make
tomorrow morning a lot easier so we made it to a pharmacy and this gentleman is
letting us use their computer to jump on fill out the form and
print them because they make photocopies here so that's a huge win because we
will save a lot of time at the office they won't let us go any other
last-minute call to go into the pharmacy so I think that's a big win to have that
paperwork filled out we paid online already and now we're just looking on
iover lender probably gonna sleep in a little spot here in Ensenada might we're
probably just see them tomorrow huh see you tomorrow at 7:30 offices open on a
there's no real time for breakfast so we are going to brush our teeth and get out
of here in case you're wondering where we slept we slept tucked between the
shipyard and 7-eleven in this nice neighborhood it's pretty quiet
other than the seals barking at night now that we have our tourist cards the
hope is all we need is one little stamp this morning here goes nothing first
speed bump this morning it doesn't actually open till 9:00 today anyways
spoke to our first officer and let us know we printed the wrong form we've got
to go print the right one this cafe said it was open online proper forms printed
buddy's gone in I'm gonna stay in the car unless he contacts me and says he
needs me in there because we can't be parked right here
okay Amy geez we are officially tourists of Mexico just to clarify there are two
things that you need to get if you are bringing your vehicle and yourselves
into Mexico one is the F mm which is what we just got stamped in it's like
your tourist permit as a human being this is where it got really confusing
for us because in Baja alone you do not really need that and you don't need to
register your vehicle your vehicle can be registered in PG lynge at the ferry
terminal in the past which is where we're going to register it should we go
to mainland but the tourist card can only be done here which is why we just
came all the way back up here anything you'd like to add there if
that's what we think yeah take take what we say with a grain of salt dear people
I'm just gonna close the thing and then we're ready to rock
okie Dokes we are arriving in El Rosario and here is where the gas gap begins so
although we're pretty full on our gas tank we're going to fill up one last
time at this Pemex and that's all I have to say about the gas cap hopefully we
make it we gonna get some service let's go
you should probably just fill her up yeah thanks Oh
the gas caps is also an internet gap so we don't really know where we're going
we had looked up on a high Overlander and we've just pulled off of the one
we're going to a place called cactus Wonderland and it appears like we're in
that excited you want actresses yeah this is what we're working with y'all so
we're doing Mexican tonight as feels like the kind of beginning of our trip
mm-hmm-hmm those tacos we're super spicy holy smokes
I don't know what I was thinking but I put basically a whole story out of
pepper in there Saran with the seeds ariana is the name of the place Soriano
pepper and the Soriano lady said to us you're crazy dude in Spanish oh your
stomach must be strong she said in Spanish well guys I hope you enjoyed us
making a massive mistake and learnt from our mistakes do not do what we do
yeah just don't do it um trust her God I mean we kind of were feeling like anyway
not really like we anyways hope you enjoyed the vid stir we'll see you in
the next one I can promise you that the next videos
are gonna be full of whales and surfing and snorkeling almost and all that I'm
promising that it's gonna get better from here so stick around for Baja bout
I'll see in a bit
