Cuba. Que lindo es mi Cuba. And boy let me tell you it's a journey in itself just getting here.
This is the ticketing booth @MIA International waiting to have our boarding passes printed and pay for our luggage.
Going to Cuba for most is an opportunity to take anything and everything you can fit or can't fit in luggage, you name it and we take it. Bikes, coffee makers, basketballs, rollerskates, baby cribs. EVERYTHING!
Landing in Cuba you exit the plane right off the runway..
Then like any country you stand in line at customs..
After getting through customs our chariot awaited :)A Russian Lada is the norm..
On my last visit we decided to take a break from La Habana and head out to VARADERO!
About 140km east of La Habana it's a straight shot on the via Blanca highway. It took us about 2 hours and some change with some stops and keeping an eye out for the caballitos (police).
One of the cool stops on the way was El Puente de Bacunayagua, standing 110 meters high it is one of Cubas top 7 wonders of civil engineering.
And Yes.. there are tolls in Cuba too..
