Twenty years ago we drove to la Paz with a 1976 Chevy pick up, in those days all we had  was an air mattress and a camp stove. Compared to that our XP Camper is a luxury vehicle.

With that truck we drove a 40 km road to Agua Verde, a small fishing village on the east coast of the Baja. We liked it a lot 20 years ago, so we turned off from the Mex1  again this time  and drove down to the sea.
The road was pretty much like back then,harrowing  in a few places , but driveable , we are slowly getting used to some of the country roads in Mexico.
At the bottom we arrived in the small settlement San Cosme,  with free roaming goats, mules and pigs. A ranchero waved us over and we inquired where the hot springs are and he showed us the way, but  there was no road. You have to drive 1 km on a beach  along a rock wall, over gravel and mossy rocks. This is possible only at half – and low tide, at high tide the waves here crash high up on the cliff. I did not even want to think about what could happen if we had a breakdown  before the tide comes in. Günter did great, drove carefully to the other side, over the gravel piles, mossy rock slabs and between large stones. On the other side we found a beautiful little bay and the hot springs. Hot water is bubbling between stones and gravel on the beach, again you have to wait until the tide goes out, at high tide the springs are under water. We parked at the beach and once again enjoyed the peace and quiet of nature. Hiking in the morning, before it gets too hot, and lounging in the hot spring in the late afternoon, that was our daily routine. The days flew by, we sometimes lose track of time and finally we realized that it was time to move on.

We had planned to spend the Christmas holidays with our friends Leon and Rosa who had invited us to come to their nice beachfront home in Los Barriles.
