La Molina

Today we’re getting our car for the holidays!
We walked to the airport and it was so hot we were dripping with sweat after only minutes🥵
But it was nice to walk along a lot flowers and palm trees, many cables and the colorful houses (very simple accommodations that all look like they need some fixing).

When we were at the car renting station (arrived at 8.30) it all started that no one seemed to care about us… Finally a man asked about our voucher and started looking in lists and the computer until he said we should wait and went into an office.. A different man angrily typed something in his computer and made some calls until he handed us a phone. They said „no car for us“ but then he made a phone call again and they came to the conclusion that we are at the wrong renting station.. So another man drove us around the airport to another terminal.
Here waits a man for us (no one told us about him but he his our angel for today) and he even speaks german. He explained us some things about the car, the road and how the cubans don’t care about time…
9.30: and the car is not here yet. It’s very hot and many people are waiting but nothings happening……
10:30……
11:30: Our car is on the way it says.
12:30: the sun burns down on us and the shadow slowly goes away. The guide goes into the office and comes back with the information that the car’s at the gas station.
13:00: FINALLY our car is here!!!!! We inspected the car and went back into the office to fill all forms out. The office guy slowly writes the paperwork, made a phone call and tried the credit card out.. declined.. but luckily the other one worked.
13:30: after 5 hours just waiting we FINALLY drove away..🚗

but… after only 30 minutes on the road all warning lights turnt on and everything’s blinking?!? WTF?
We opened the motor and somethings making a weird noise. Great, we call our angel guide and I walked along the highway to find the kilometer sign. Can’t find one.. When I was back at the car the noises stopped, the lights were off and everything’s like nothing happened.

The rest of the drive goes well and slowly some clouds, that are darker than my humor, take over the blue sky and it starts raining. The air cools down like 8°C and the air smells sooo good🌧Read more
