The crossing was completely pain free - I sailed through and into Tijuana at about 9am and in doing so spied the nearly invisible immigration office. A short while later I had a stamp in my passport and a fresh tourist card! The directions to get the tvip went over my head so I decided to get it in La Paz!
I ended up on the route 1 toll road and got me the hell out of Tijuana and headed south! I'm now in La Paz having got my ferry ticket and tvip this morning - another pain free affair! I'll in Mazatlan on Friday morning - not sure where to go from there yet though...
In terms of advice, route 1 is amazing in places and mind numbingly dull in others - the ride from Loreto to La Paz is a prime example of that! On the way, I highly recommend the town of San Ignacio, after a day riding across the desert it's the perfect rest spot! Oh and the Baja Cactus hotel in El Rosario - the best bargain on the planet if you get one of the new rooms... Genuine luxury for just 300 pesos!
