Decided to splash out a bit and book into the all inclusive resort at the very far western tip of the island called Maria La Gorda so that we could do some diving which was meant to be world class. So were pretty chuffed as we settled into our very luxurious cabana with crisp white sheets, fluffy towels and cable TV! They can't get eggs or milk, but Celebrity Reality Rehab they can provide!
The beach was OK, although not a patch on Cayo Levisa, but the diving was brilliant! Ended up doing three dives each including a great wall dive and a shallow reef dive where we saw heaps of cool fish, a giant crab, a massive green moray eel and a huge fish with big teeth being cleaned by lots of other braver fish! Also perfected our being-shot-matrix-style stunts, well it amused us!
Because we were diving, not much partying to be done, so we spent our two evenings chowing down on the all-you-can-eat buffet surrounded by the island's cat population and drinking wine overlooking the sea before retiring to our plush room for more Rock of Love 2.....lead singer of Poison seaches for love...again! Fascinating stuff!
Before too long we were back in Vinales in a different casa - the cousin of the previous casa owner - because she was full. Bit more rustic than before but the owner, who lived there with his old dear, was such a friendly character. Initial suspicions about his lifestyle choices were raised when he asked us to sign the official government paperwork with a furry pink Barbie pen but they were confirmed when he put on a Best Hits Abba DVD during our dinner and started dancing around the living room. The funniest thing was reading the visitors book which mentions the Abba music years ago!! Whoa super fan!
