Where is Los Cabos?

So if you can picture California and then it goes down into Mexico and it looks like a siletto heel and Mexico Cancun, Mexican is the main shoe part to the right. So we are at the bottom of the siletto heel, the bottom of the Baja Peninsula called Lost Carbos, and there's two carbos. One is Carbo, San Lucas and the other one is San Jose del Carbo. So that's Lost Babos.

Well, actually at present, I'm in Palm Springs, but I'm going to talk to you about that next week because it's been a crazy trip and we're heading home tonight. But i want to tell you all about Carbo, which is what it's nicknamed. Because I managed to get a blog post done and lots of pickies, and I've got some good tips for where people might like to stay and where I would stay differently next time.

Okay, so tell me where you stayed.

We stayed in Cabo San Lucas, and we stayed at an all inclusive resort right up at the Marina.

So the reason I.

So the reason I.

Chose that was because it is a really busy part of town. But it does mean you can pop out and about, walk around, go shopping, find a restaurant, a bar, a shopping mall. And because I'm leaving my group, I wanted them to be able to just do that at any time. But next time I would either stay further down the beach where you would have to taxi to the marina. But honestly, the Marina is a little bit like Las Vegas at the beach. I was last year, twelve years ago, and it just was not this busy. Believe it. Actually we arrived on Saturday and it was like spring break and party time, and I thought, oh no, what have I done? But actually then it all calms down and it was a great spot to stay in and from there we could go whale watching, do all the tours that they are famous for. In that area a.

Lot of whale watching and dolphin watching and sea lions, all sorts of wildlife to enjoy.

And it's the whale watching season finishes mid April, so this is actually why I chose this whole date of the tour to work backwards from whale watching, so that we could be out on the harbor. And we did see these amazing humpbacks because they travel mama baby and an escort which they think might be an auntie a grandmother. They're not really sure. But then they started breaching and dancing out of the water and it was airpak.

Are there some historical cultural sites around where you.

Are, so that's what you go to San Jose del Carbo for. It's about a half hour drive from San Lucas, and there's a beautiful Spanish mission church that anchors the town square, and then surrounding that is all these gorgeous art boutiques and galleries and handcrafts. I bought a ridiculously expensive handmade rug, sorry, not rug mug.

And actually, next time, if I came back, this would be my third visit, I would probably stay down at that historic area San Jose del Cabo. So I would say, in one of the beach front resorts where I could still just walk or get a quick little taxi into the historic village. Gorgeous there.
