Not much to tell today. We went to deserted beach. The road was really bad from Viñales. A lot of animals on the road. Once we arrived to Cato Jutias we were charged 3CUC for guarding our car. We could ignore the guy and not pay (we learned that!), but safer if we want to …
Breakfast was too big today. We went to Area 53 cafe. They have double menus for locals and tourists as well as they gave us the wrong one first. They had nice backon and fries with egg on top and also sandwiches were nice. Then we took the car to go to Plaza de Revolution. …
We found out that night before there was a tornado in Havana as my family was asking how I was. 3 people died and 172 injured. We are all fine, just clothes and shoes were still soaked and no hot water in the shower. Electricity came back in the flat in the early morning too. …

You start appreciating modern world! This morning we ate breakfast in the casa. It was bigger and more variety than in Holguin …
Today was a bit crazy. First we went to see Lomo de La Cruz. Beautiful views of Holguin. We lost our “highway” and ended up in a complete pueblo. No road basically. Locals were starring at hour car and even jumping from their chairs to see it. Finally when we made to our asfalt “highway” …
The flight was very long and entertainment media on Thomas Cook flight honestly sucks! 6 movies and 6 TV show episodes. Only one movie was watchable, the rest rubbish. Can’t wait to fly with them home! Will die from boredom. Visas for Cuba (Cuba entrance card) we ordered online via cubavisas.com website. Paid around £25 …
