Adios!

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Adios!

All of those members angry a little bit of cold weather and snow got me mulling over the injustice of life in the real cold. So, tomorrow I'm off to Cuba to see if communism is alive and well (the last communist country I visited was Russia in August 1961 and they built a wall in Berlin to hinder my return). This time it is with my lady friend and my three oldest children to an all-inclusive at Cayo Coco. :D

Any chance of the usual photographic evidence, Monty?

Have a good trip.

Someone to pop in and visit down Guantanamo Bay way, Amigo? Make sure the car you hire is seaworthy. Good luck. :wink:

Actually we were on an offhore island called Cayo Coco - we didn't even get to see Havana, so it was somewhat disappointing in that regard. No one lives on the key - there are just five resorts and an airport. The workers take ninety minutes each day to be bused in from where they live in the oddly named Moron, so it is a three hour commute per day. Still they all seemed cheerful and happy enough. The resort was fine if you only wanted to to lie by the beach or pool, with all you could eat and drink. If you had an interest in Cuban society or Spanish colonial architecture you would be disappointed. Still all in all a good week if you like the sun and sea.

It was warm too, keveh - warmer than the air when there were clouds and wind.

Superb photos as ever, Monty. Though if ever I do go to Cuba it'll be to walk the streets of Havana rather than to lie by a pool (but you know that anyway).
I hope you had a thoroughly fantastic time, friend.

Cheers.

I would have liked to do a bit of both tbh but to do that you'd have to stay at Varadero, not Cayo Coco.
I'll have to go back some day to find the real Cuba, not some tropical never never land.
I think that general has destroyed this threads comprehensibility.

Yes, Bobo, but it has been fixed - he put in a very large picture but has changed the url to some comment on this or that.
