Playa Larga

Well, this was the day when we found out that Viazul doesn't't work great, to put it mildly. When we arrived top the station, some other people were already waiting as well. The Viazul workers told us we would have got wait and see if there were actually seats available. Telling them we had "reserved" our tickets didn't really matter. We finally did get seats but we arrived in Playa Larga just to see a French couple waiting for a bus to Cienfuegos without being able to get anybody to tell them if the bus had already passed the station, if they had missed it, or if it was scheduled to arrive later. They were told though that they should stay so they could be the first in line if the bus did actually stopped there.

Our conclusion was that we would go back to Havana some other way.

A pedicab took us to our house for 3CUC or so. Casa Baby turned out to be the best one so far. The owners are really friendly, breakfast and dinners were delicious, and they helped us plan activities.

We spent the rest of the day being lazy. We went to the beach, found some beach chairs and had coffee, mojitos, and friend plantains until sunset.

It was when we headed back home for dinner when we met THE BUGS. This area has some sort of small mosquitos that come out at sunset and in a few seconds will bite you all over your body. Horrible. It seems that can't travel without getting some weird bug bite.Read more
