Practicalities: Getting to Baja California and Currency

Getting There

The easiest way to reach the southern tip of Baja California is to fly. From Europe you may need to stop-over in Los Angeles, USA. The SCUBA Travel team incorporated this into the holiday, taking the opportunity to visit Venice Beach (they'd been listening to too many Doors albums). They stayed at the Jolly Roger Hotel.

Currency

Pesos or US dollars are equally accepted, as are dollars travellers cheques. You can pay in supermarkets in travellers cheques and get pesos in return: the exchange rate works out the same as the banks. Some places charge more though, if you pay in dollars. Also, some places impose a surcharge for paying with credit cards. The banks don't charge commission for changing dollars, cash or travellers cheques.
