    Tequila, and free money on the road from good people who fallow you!! That was touchy. And your reaction to it was so sweet!!
    You guys are such genuine people!! 🤗🤗

    Great video. The drone footage of the whales was breathtaking. What a joy to receive random kindness from strangers!!

    God, that gave me flashbacks to interrailing in the 80s and being stuck in the bowls of a ferry crossing the Baltic. It was full of smelly backpackers, all of whom had acoustic guitars and not one of them could play. I must have heard the introduction to Stairway To Heaven in about eight different languages, interspersed with vomiting noises due to rough seas.. it was grim!

    Watching this in La Paz as we are waiting to take the ferry to Mazatlan! Not going to lie, watching us say goodbye again made us tear up a little bit. Think we will be taking the libre if we can 😂 Hopefully see you soon!! Roan misses his stick buddies...

    Another great video. Episodes like this show the realities and challenges of long distance travel. UK motorways are largely free and we have lots of traffic jams. However, like you, I hate it when driving abroad and you have to pay a toll to sit in a traffic jam😁

    I once drove to Cabo from California. It was quite the adventure with so much to see and experience. My grandfather spent a year in Topolobampo with his parents in 1886. It was a socialistic plan that was a total failure. I have a book that details the experiment and why it failed. His family really struggled with all the hardships, including starvation.
    Your trip looks great, and when Nick recovers, you'll be on your way again.

On another topic: What’s this about knee surgery? I saw a short clip about a meniscectomy in Cancun. Experiencing the health care system too? 😮. Hope recovery is going well. Tuning in from Western Canada.

      good question Alan, in reality we are making enough money to fund our trip. We travel mainly on our work savings from before our departure. But we still declare our earnings from RUclips in France where we have our residence and we pay taxes on them as a little enterprise.
