We got up at 6:00am, packed our bags, had breakfast (no one brought even coffee lol, since we tipped only bartenders), got a coffee from coffee bar (proper coffee, not so watery as in breakfast place) and took off just before 8am. The morning fog was on the road. The drive was smooth. We stopped …
All morning in beach. Yesterday for dinner we got diluted wine with water. White or red the same – water with color. We found the room perfectly cleaned and towels changed, swans from blankets and curtains tied up nicely, just because we left 1CUC, some toothpaste, toothbrush and hair crunchies. After lunch we went shopping …
Day in the beach with many Piña Coladas and food. All inclusive. One mistake we didnt’t have big cups for drinks.
In the morning we walked in Havana old town. Amazing colourful buildings and the vibe of Havana. We saw La Bodeguita del Medio and Cathedral de la Virgen Maria. Wondering the streets were thrilling. We parked in front of hotel and a guy was objecting us parking there since we weren’t the guests, but I …
Our plan today was to go to Vinales – land of tabacco and cigars. 7:15am everyone got up. No breakfast and around 8:30am we hit the road or rather a traffic jam. There was an accident on the road. Once we managed to escape that we were going 80km/h via nice alley of palms. It …
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. …
We’ve got a great breakfast in our casa for 5CUC and left for a walk in Cienfuegos before leaving. Took some pictures and walked for an hour and a bit and got back to our casa to pickup my sandals, which my host kindly took to fix free of charge. They look like new! My …

Today was very hard, after too much Rum in the karaoke bar. I barely slept 4 hours and my stomach was very upset. It was a beach day. Our host recommend us to go to Rancho Luna, which is 16km to the South of Cienfuegos. On the beach I ordered coconut with coconut milk inside. …
