Tijuana and arrival to Mexico city. 12/12/09

Woke up in Tijuana and was treated to an amazing buffet breakfast which ended up costing the equivilent of one nights stay in the hotel, woooopsyyy

The aim of the day was to get some horse riding in and venture down the baja peninsula for some lunch!

So the day begun with a drive back up to the caliente complex and back to the riding school where they had two horses saddled for us, The grooms here are amazing caring for the horses while the riders wait for their horse to be delivered and tacked, crazy but cool, Because the riding school had past experiences of people claiming they could ride and then injuring themselves in various ways, they found us the two most lazy dead to the leg horses in history, Only Katherine and Tiff had a ride which was a great idea for the others to save their legs, hahaha never have we felt so retarted on a horse. Katherine rode a huge grey beast which looked like a spanish riding horse that had given up on the accelerator and tiff rode a smaller thoroughbred cross.


After our legs nearly fell off, a man bought one of his andalusian stallions down for us to meet, with the biggest mane and  thickest tail ever.
He showed a few steps of spanish walk and then got put away.



Then we all hopped back into the car and begun our search for lobster in the Baja penninsula. After 1.5 hours of four girls trying to fit in a space for 3 we arrived to a liitle restaurant in a place called nuevo puerto (new port) lobster tacos and beers went down very well with the mexican music produced from some local mariachis!!  spanish love songs were their forte, wow did we feel special (for a few pesos)



After Lunch we headed back up the Baja penninsula to the Tijuana airport. On the way we discovered that the huge fox studios that we passed were actually where the Titanic was filmed we all swooned at the prospect that Leonardo Dicaprio may have walked on this very ground hahaha,

After clearing customs we boarded our plane and sat for 3.5 hours with mexican snacks and drinkies until arriving in mexico city. A 40 minute drive to Katherine´s Dad´s house in Polanco at 10:30 after such a massive day you would have thought we would just want to go to bed.........but noooo, we headed down a few blocks to Paulinas birthday at 11:30pm.

We ended up staying out until 3:30am which we thought was a pretty good effort. Huge shots of tequila some good music and lots of new friends....what a night.
