7 days is really not enough to experience what is without doubt a fantastic, beautiful, backwards and vibrant country like Cuba. One of primary goals was to suba dive in Maria La Gorda, one of Jacques Cousteau's top 10 dive spots in the world. Maria La Gorda is located at the southwest tip of the country and while there's a very tourist bus that goes there, we rented a car. At the of my last
post I mentioned we rented a beat up Chinese made rental car called a Geely. Beat up in the sense that every time we hit a pot hole the front left strut would bottom out, dents ans scratches all over and the roads and driving were the reason why. The only cars on the road were in the cities and people use the roads for walking
and horse drawn 2 wheel buggies more than cars.

Some time the driving was slow going, sometimes we could haul a little booty. I gotta say that Geely could manage to get up a little hustle, hitting speeds of 160 Kph without too much difficulty. Dont ask me how I know.

Finally reaching Maria La Gorda (or Fat Maria) with the tell tale dive sign.

And of course the beachfront room with a view left nothing to be desired
