      Let's go to Cuba!

      November 21, 2016 in El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      So after the night in Miami, my travel to Cuba started with a hangover but also with a lot of curiosity and motivation!
      But like a lot of you already rode my mail, the travel wasn't easy at all! I lost a lot of money because of stupid situations.
      I had to change the airplane at San Salvador and wait over night. As I thought that I can spend the night at the airport I hadn't booked any Hotel. When I arrived there they obliged me to get out the airport and go to the airport hotel for 80 Dollars per night! Never I would pay that. So at the end I got a hotel for 20 Dollars because a guy heard my discussion with the airport people and helped me to find a cheaper one.
      As i got out the airport I was really scared. It had about 50 people standing next before the exit from the airport waiting for someone. They stared at me what I unterstand but as everybody said El Salvador is really really dangerous I was hardly scared. Now after 3 months of travel I would not be as scared as at my beginning.
      But everything went alright and I passed a short but cozy night in this hostel anywhere in San Salvador.
      But the next day it continued and I could not buy the tourist card for Cuba as thought at the airport for 20$ because they had no more left!! So I had to buy it at the airport in Cuba for 80$! Yeah but that's always better than not to have the possibility to fly to Cuba. ;-)
