Cuba, de dagen van Fidel.

Inmiddels al weer een week in het Cuba van Fidel. Het is een apart land, communistisch maar toch anders. Ik heb het gevoel dat het meer leeft bij het volk? Vergeleken met Guatemala is het hier allemaal prima geregeld. Het doet me zelfs een beetje aan Nederland denken. De mensen zijn aardig, open en relaxed.


We zijn een paar dagen in Havana gebleven maar op zich redelijk snel vertrokken omdat we van plan daar we in het weekend daar weer terug zullen zijn. Als iemand zich trouwens af vraagt waar de afgedankte Nederlandse bussen zijn gebleven, die rijden in Havana rond! Grappig voel me meteen helemaal thuis....



Gisteren zijn we naar het plaatsje Viñales gegaan (ca. 3 uur per bus). Hele mooie heuvels daar, je kunt er prima mountainbiken. Ik mis het mountainbiken wel een beetje, het was voor het eerst in ruim twee maanden dat ik weer eens op een fiets zat, ik kon het nog ;-).





Vandaag zijn we door gereisd naar La Maria Gorda (de dikke Maria). Dit is een onvervalst resort waar alleen toeristen komen. We blijven dan ook maar 1 nachtje in de super-de-luxe cabin (peperduur).



In Maria Gorda heb je mooie stranden en je kunt er duiken. Dus heb ik vandaag weer eens gedoken, het was voor het eerst in twee jaar, dus ik kon wel een refresher gebruiken. Dat zat er echter niet in, komt wel op de boot en dan weet eigenlijk al hoe laat het is. Op de boot is het altijd te druk, er is te weinig tijd etc. Achteraf ging het allemaal wel goed, en na 10 minuten voelde ik me als een vis in het water.

Ik heb trouwens een nieuwe camera gekocht in Mexico Stad (toen ik daar over moest stappen tijdens de vlucht van Guatemala naar Havana). Het mooie van deze camera is dat je er ook onderwater mee kunt fotograferen en filmen (zonder speciale onderwater behuizing). Het is een Olympus 770 SW. En het werkt perfect! Tot 10 meter diepte kun je de camera gebruiken! Vandaag heb ik wat kunnen spelen met de settings en hij werkt ook nog wel wat dieper dan 10 meter. Erg gaaf. Kijk maar eens naar wat foto’s:







Goed tot zover, het plan is om morgen, na nog een duik en wat relaxen op het strand, via Pinar del Rio naar Havana terug te reizen. Wellicht met de trein als dat mogelijk is. Dan zijn we weer een paar dagen in Havana. Om vervolgens door te reizen naar het zuid - oosten van Cuba. Plaatsen als Trinidad en Cienfuegos staan hierbij op het programma.

Nog even genieten van de zonsondergang bij Maria la Gorda!





Hasta la victoria, Siempre!
Alfred & Mia

Hé Alfred

Tblijft leuk te lezen waar je uithangt en wat je doet.
Tlijkt af en toe net of ik een (strip)boek aan het lezen ben en vergeet dat jij al die dingen echt meemaakt.

Nog veel plezier en geniet ze!

Zeg Alfred,

Wat lees ik nou, al 2 maanden niet op een fiets gezeten? Schaam je! Ik zou maar eens gaan oefenen, anders fiets ik je over 2 maanden het snot voor de ogen (wat overigens zowiezo gaat gebeuren, dus op zich hoef je daarvoor niet meer of minder te oefenen).

Begrijp ik het goed dat je weer in relationere sferen beland bent? Nou ja, da's in ieder geval leuker dan alleen reizen.

Houd je tussen al dat gefeest de potten en pannen nog een beetje in de gaten ;-). Niet dat die Guatumalezen verhongeren zonder jouw innovatieve wonders...

Nou, nog veel reisplezier en misschien tot over 2 maanden.

Paul
