Horsing Around...
One of the fun things we did in Cabo was horseback riding. It was about 15 miles north of the town, and literally in the middle of nowhere. The sites were beautiful. We had a little bit of a rough start, but eventually we enjoyed the ride.
Manuel was our "guide". He came from the back of the "farm" with three horses, and asked me to pick my horse. I liked the lighter brown horse so I picked him, his name was Allassan and he seemed very mellow. Tim picked the gray horse, and the third, deeply brown colored horse was left for Manuel. After Manuel helped us get on our horses, he started walking towards his horse, and that one started running around frustrated. Manuel tried lasso him, but with no luck, the horse took off like crazy right into the bushes of cactuses... and we lost him... Next thing I see is Manuel on ATV going after the horse.... and I'd like to add that as this whole thing is happening, me and Tim are sitting on our horses, and they are just standing there, not tied to anything... just freestanding....
I started freaking out, I was so afraid that my horse would do the same that I started asking Tim to take me off the horse. Tim was sitting on his horse, and none of us wanted to anything to trigger them off... so I was just freaking out, and TK tried to calm me down... It was pretty crazy, and no one else around to help us. I imagined my horse taking off and loosing me somewhere in the middle of nowhere ...
About 10-15 minutes later we saw Manuel riding his horse back... I felt better, but still wasn't sure if I really wanted to do that.
We left the farm and followed the trail into the desert mountains. Horses were calm and laid back. The views were just amazing... It's hard to describe, untouched by human, wild trails going up and down the mountains, the Pacific Ocean shore so far away from the tourists, huge waves crushing onto the wide strip of beaches, or formations of rocks... it was so beautiful, and breathtaking... very relaxing and kind of romantic... we both loved it and we think that was the highlight of our trip. The photos will not do the justice:

Honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas
As I mentioned before, we were honeymooning in Mexico - in Cabo San Lucas, located on the farthest tip of Baja California Sur (California Peninsula). We stayed there for over a week, and we got to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather.
I booked our Honeymoon through Expedia , and we got unbelievable rate for air and hotels, well, resorts.
I decided to split our trip and stay in two different resorts, just to change it up, I didn't want us to get bored in one place. So after doing some research, I decided that we will stay on the Sea of Cortez side first, and than we will explore the Pacific side. I have to say it was a great idea, as both locations have such a different things to offer.
First few days we stayed at Pueblo Bonito Rose . Rose is located $6.00 cab ride from downtown Cabo, it's located on a super popular beach, waves are not that big, so you can actually swim in the sea. The picturesque view of the rocks is just breathtaking! Our suite was located on the top floor, and we had great, water view. It was amazing to get up in the morning and have a breakfast on our balcony, overlooking the city from the one side, and the sea from the other side. Sunsets were unbelievable, also. It was just a great trip. We enjoyed the pool, laying in the sun was just great, and the neverending margaritas! That's a life!
We enjoyed our couple's massage - thanks to Ryan and Chris! It was a nice relaxing morning. it was actually pretty eventfull for Tim, I guess he didn't understand the spanish-speaking spa attendant, and almost cooked hmself in the sauna... The weather was great for the whole time, we had cloudless sky and about a 100F everyday, so the frozen margaritas kept us nice and cool... and ocasionally dip in the pool helped. Here is few photos from Rose, and the beach...
Several days later we moved to Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach.
The resort was completely different. It was located on the pacific side of Cabo (about $10.00 cab fare to the city), and it is spread out oh the side of a hill. A lot of smaller buildings with suites are spread around all over the property. You can either walk or call a cart service and they will take you around the whole resort. Our suite had a spectacular view of the ocean, and those huge, enormous waves crushing the shore every minute... it was just beautiful, I don't even think I can describe it. We were located in the middle of the property, so it was a short walk to the lobby, and restaurants, and couple of flights of stairs to get to the main pool. The pool was facing the ocean! It was just great! I know I will be back to Cabo, and maybe even plan the same trip again.
