Rating:  Summary: Off the beaten path - A "spot on" account. Review: While no expert on Cuba I have traveled to Cuba three times. The first with a large mixed group of singles to a package holiday in Varadero, the second for a solo 3 week backpacking trip from Havana to Santiago de Cuba (and places between) and the final trip with a couple of friends for 2 weeks in Havana. These trips took place from 1998 and 1999. During all 3 trips I used Christopher Baker's travel guide on Cuba by Moon Travel. I found this guide extremely accurate and very helpful. Having discovered "Mi Moto Fidel" I was able to relive all of my previous experiences while enjoying Mr. Bakers. I can say that like his Travel guide, "Mi Moto Fidel" is spot on and a true account of what you may and can find in Cuba. The only thing I would like to add is I was fortunate to encounter a number of foreign travelers (French, German and Italian) similar to myself and my situation (back-backing and off the beaten path) who greatly enhanced my Cuban experience through, help, advice, shared experience and occasionally company. I would recommend not only 'Mi Moto Fidel, Mr. Baker's Cuban Travel guide and most importantly, to get out of Varadero and see and experience the "real Cuba".
