Just got home from a week-long vacation in Cuba. Spent most of the time on the beach at the resort, but also ventured off the resort grounds for 2 days and explored some local villages, and the nearby city of Holguin. Lots of old American cars, and plenty of bikes you don't see in Canada or the US.
What a terrific week. The resort was awesome in every way, the weather was great, and the people of Cuba are absolutely the nicest folks you'll ever meet. I plan on going back, but for 2 weeks next time!

Lada 6-door stretch limousine hack job
off-roading with a rented Jilan 50cc scooter
The scooter rental cost $30 for the day

a proud Cuban washing his pristine Suzuki GN125
I chatted with these guys as they fixed a leaky master brake cylinder
on this '52 Chev
Lots of Russian Lada vehicles, including the 4x4 Niva
an old BMW air head hack
Our taxi for the day was this '59 Plymouth. The original V8
engine died many years ago, and was retrofit with a 2.0 Litre diesel
engine and gearbox from a Mistubishi pick-up truck.
Lifan LF125F - I believe these are a Chinese brand
Lots of horse-powered vehicles
My 9-year-old daughter was at the controls on some rural roads near the resort.
Of course, when in Cuba, just wear a poorly fitting helmet, shorts, and sneakers.
I also brought home some Cohiba Robusto cigars
... and some Montecristo IV
