Saturday - Back in Havana

After disembarking from our home for the past 7 days we boarded a coach and headed for Havana - a three and a half hour journey with one stop. The bus had to slow down a couple of times waiting for a chance to overtake horse-drawn carts on the motorway but we did see a lot of the interior of the country. We spotted this mother of all cut-and-shuts at the comfort stop.



We had a running commentary for the first hour or so from our guide on the Trinidad trip yesterday (Vladimir, a Cuban). The bus driver, who looked like a Mafia godfather, was the same one too. They dumped us and our cases what seemed like a quarter of a mile from our hotel but it was the closest they could get with the bus. After being pampered for a week, having to shift for ourselves was a bit of a shock. Thank goodness for wheeled suitcases.
