Viñales

If you come to Cuba there will be certain things that you will do. Whether or not one should is debatable, but there's a definite tourist itinerary. Yesterday we did the obligatory hire of a huge American Mercury something or other car for a guided drive by of the other districts of Havana. Today we're doing the stunningly beautiful valley of Viñales with Diego Rivera's mural, the Cigar factory (hut) and Crocodile Farm (no I don't want to pet a tied up baby croc or feed 100 x 12 footers crammed together in a small lagoon in the name of conservation) en route. None of these I'd actually recommend... but it's very difficult to get out of doing them. Other than that, some great sights on the road.
