Veradero- Deep Sea Fishing

It is a good stretch of road, but I can't believe it costs that much for upkeep.

Maybe it was intended to be designed, built and maintained by user fees, including the original construction costs. Plus a profit.

2cuc for that stretch is pretty inexpensive when you compare similar private toll roads built by private enterprise, in NA.

The 2cuc is charged to 'foreigners'. Local cars pay in cup.

You're right, Gres. And the toll is charged only on the way in (ie, heading east), not on the way out.

YanquiBoy, you're right, too, about my comparison with Trump being weak. I was just being silly. But as a joke it was pretty weak, too. Most Americans are not finding his financial antics all that funny, are they?

A couple small things:
1-Actually, it(Varadero toll), is paid in both directions. Most recent 3 weeks ago.
2-And you CAN have a private taxi pick you up at any airport. This must be pre-arranged as they cannot tout their services there. Done it dozens of times. Usually about 50-75% of Cubataxi rate. YMMV of course. :-)

True.. If i recall, the toll is paid both ways.
