well cuba is a really a trip away from the rest of the world. many strange divisions and many strange situations...separate bus for tourists, separate ice cream stands for tourists, and a constant hassle to buy fake brand name cigars...but after that, everyone is as nice as pie and more than willing to talk and share a swig of rum with you.
after a week in havana, we moved to cienfuegos to get some local flavour. quaint little city on a nice bay and close enough for us to rent motoscooters to go to the beach...great fun!
now we are in Trinidad and there are way more tourists, but the beach is supposed to be better...we will see tomorrow. off to take a salsa lesson and partake in the special feista this weekend...ron and beer flowing freely.
after we heading to santiago de cuba and then holguin to catch a flight back to havana. after that we have some days in viñales on the other side of havana. time is ticking and we have lots left to see. this may be the last blog...so hasta pronto!
