Day 7: Bayamo to Contra Maestra to Blau Costa Verde
Lots of distance traveled today, got up and tried to take a shower but there was no water coming out of the shower… others had water buy not very hot… had the same Breakfast as we had at the previous two days, scrambled eggs, breaded ham and cheese deep fried, chopped ham rolled and breaded to look like a sausage .. again deep fried, thank goodness for a selection of breads and fruit.
We then loaded on the bus and headed for Contre Maestre, near Santiago de Cuba to visit a Dr who is a good friend of my BIL (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Marsher/RicksPixDCFCubaTrip2008-0281.jpg)
