We awoke surprisingly refreshed at around 07h00. Although the ferry ride is quite basic (and you have stand in a queue for your food), we had a private cabin for the two of us which was comfortable and afforded us a good nights rest. The ferry was also well priced as the total cost including us, cabin, bike and food was only approx US$300 in total, which I think represents good value.<\/p>\n

The waters around La Paz on route to Cabo..<\/em><\/p>\n

We got into La Paz at around 10h30 and couldn\u2019t believe the security to get out of the port. First is a police checkpoint, then a hectic Military checkpoint where they go through every bag and piece of clothing looking for drugs or explosives so we only got out of the port after 12h00 for a 185km ride to Cabo San Lucas which we were expecting to be quite hot because its essentially a \u201cwestern movie\u201d desert like scene but because of the pacific winds, it proved to be a very comfortable 22-25C ride.<\/p>\n

We got to Cabo and we are staying at the most awesome hotel on the beach called Capella Pedregal<\/a>. You know its awesome when the guard at the gate takes your order for your welcome drink that will be waiting for you by the time you hit reception in a few minutes so seeing as we are in Mexico, Margheritas were the order of the moment!!<\/p>\n

By the time we were checked in however, the \u201cgood value\u201d food of the ferry started to churn a little and I have unfortunately come down with a stomach bug of which I wont go into too much detail herein so the rest of the day is unfortunately \u201cbed bound\u201d!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
