You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudkin
from News Talks atb Travel with Wendy Wuturs, Where the
World Is Yours.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Book Now, and Meghan Singleton joins us now from Los
Cabos in Mexico. Hello, oh La, how are you really good?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Love? Tell me?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Where is Los Cabos?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
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
(00:53):
the other one is San Jose del Carbo. So that's
Lost Babos.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Fantastic And so where are you at present?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, so tell me where you stayed.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
We stayed in Cabo San Lucas, and we stayed at
an all inclusive resort right up at the Marina.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So the reason I.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
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
(01:55):
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
(02:17):
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.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Lot of whale watching and dolphin watching and sea lions,
all sorts of wildlife to enjoy.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
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.
(02:53):
They're not really sure. But then they started breaching and
dancing out of the water and it was airpak.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
If you want to avoid the spring breakers, when are
they there, Megan, because east.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Are coming up. I'm going to go either early early
March would probably be better, and weather wise it would
be better too, but cooler.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Are there some historical cultural sites around where you.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
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
(03:39):
expensive handmade rug, sorry, not rug mug.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I was going to say the rug would be quite
a bit to bring home a rug.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, I did buy a rug. I did buy a rug,
but that was in Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I'll tell you about that another time. Yeah, So I
love that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
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.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Meghan, enjoy Palm Springs. Looking forward to catching up with
you when you get back, and if you would like
