Day 2
We left Santa Clarita around 8:30 and stopped before the border, got gas, changed money, bought Mexican insurance, had lunch and crossed the border around noon. Everything went well until we crossed the border, in all the confusion and traffic we somehow bypassed immigrations and could not find our way back to check in at the border. Oh well we said screw it and Fred led me through all the back streets of Tijuana until we finally found the freeway 15 miles later. We wandered around Ensenada until we found a very nice hotel & casino. The Hotel San Nicolas is very nice and clean. They locked our bikes up in a cage with a 24 hour guard. We will try to go to immigrations here in Ensenada tomorrow morning but we heard a rumor it is a Mexican holiday so we may have to lay over another night and catch them on Tuesday.
I got some pictures of the road damage between Ensenada and El Rosario from last weeks storm from another traveler.
