darthandy Posted March 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2012 The most vicious attacks in Mexico are never reported to the authorities. People are too embarrassed to admit to them. Yet they are left in pain, agony and fear for a long time after these attacks. The worst part is that they are so insidious that people can rarely see them coming. It can make the thought of leaving their room positively frightening. I am, of course, talking about the nastiest and most disgusting vacation ruining attack facing most vacationers .... travellers diahrrea! Thank God for Immodium!

Sailor Posted March 8, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 8, 2012 According to news reports in the local (Victoria B.C.) papers the two Canadians who were found murdered on the beach in Mexico were known to be involved in the drug trade and were found in a cartel dumping area. The woman who was beaten was walking (sleepwalking?) about the hotel at 3:00 am naked. When she got on the elevator she scared a Mexican man who was not supposed to be in the hotel. He had been visiting a friend there. He beat her while trying to make his escape. The guy from Saltspring who was murdered interrupted a robbery and struggled with the robber who shot him. Bottom line is "Don't go to dangerous areas and don't do foolish things." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozlander Posted March 9, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah, if you're going to sleep walk nakid at 3 am, try not to scare anybody. On the other hand, some of the people on here would be real scary naked at 3 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normax Posted March 10, 2012 Share #12 Posted March 10, 2012 There is no place like the Baja from November to April. The Highways are wonderful it just that the eye candy where the desert meets the oceans that you have to be aware of. The beaches are supreb the lobster cheap and the seafood so fresh it swims. I've done the Baja and mainland on a motorcycle over thirty times for the past 40 years. I am planning another next year doing the mainland and taking the Ferry across to the Baja and up to the USA. If I wasn't buying a bike I'd be there right now. Lift a cold one for me and take a shot of anejo with sierra ceviche and savor the best that life offers.
