Another motel ...another town - before hitting Mexico

A late morning start - the heat was unbearable today - humidity factor now coming into play - we all feel constantly wet.

20 mile stoi the border crossing at Calexico into Mexicali. The crossing makes us nervous - we opt for secure parking of the bikes paying $9.00.

Laying down our Canadian rocks in Mexico and Girls, Girls, Girls ....

The pedestrian path is unmarked we are cautious  - before we know it we have entered Mexico without seeing anyone or showing our passports.

Depositing the stones, not drugs

Slasher notes that for the first time Warrior and Hawk go very quiet - confidence is low - they don't like what they see! We are now in a third world country - men on street corners diong nothing - just staring at us - do they want our money or our bodies?

Slasher takes us for a drink and tries to speak Spanish but fails to communicate so uses some French and shouts! We know this is not working when un-ordered food arrives with the drinks.

We spend 40 mins in Mexico and rush back - This time the Americans give us no problem in returning - we are straight back to safety.

No tourist here

Under great heat we follow the border wall between the two countries for 50 miles - acqua / water is strategically placed for illegal migrants by charities as so mant bodies are found in the dessert - we stop for no-one as we rush to San Diego.

In San Diego we head for the beacj - Pacfic Beach where we find gorgeous girls parading up and down the board walk - roller skating. blading, boarding and attempting to look like atheletes!

A great Best Western Hotel - swiiming pool sea front and near by resturants tells us we have made the right choice.

First drinks are in a beach hut on the beach - we are checked for age identity - makes us feel good.

We go out " gold fish racing" in the first bar and then find a good resturant for a relaxing diner.

Warrior returns to bed and Slasher takes Hawk wandering for more delights!!!

We all love San Diego - great climate, people and atmosphere
