Percentage Of Women That Wax
Images of the Day
Day Course: 84 Kilometers
Night again, rocked by the roosters, cats and other horns. The Cuban nights are far from calm. Ana and breakfast with us at the bus terminal. 3 people waiting with us. The bus should arrive in Havana 08h at 40, but at 9 o'clock, the jailer tells us that the bus is stalled on the road and he should not join until 11:30. Well, we decided to take a taxi to the 78 miles that separate us from Bayamo. It's finally a jeep driver who accepts Willis race. I make a great leap backwards, or at the time I played like a madman driving jeeps. It was remotorisée, 3 years ago with a 4-cylinder engine Soviet. Like what! For cons, the dampers are original, as the road completely smashed at times. We are in the fresh air and scenery fly by. It's very dry, as it has not rained for some time. We are at the heart of the region that gave birth to the various revolutionary movements in Cuba. Since 1868, the war for independence from Spain in the period until 1954, or the Sierra Maestra, nearby housed the camp of Fidel Castro. We go through a village feast at a bicycle race. then we can Bayamo, not finding our host bus terminal, we search for our house, we finally find the center of the city, after a few twists and turns. The hostess is hospitalized, and is therefore the senior Gabriel installs us in a room with just a small window and a very steep metal staircase to reach it. This will do for 48 hours, especially since we're really at the center of the city, very clean and repainted new, with bright colors, they exude an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. We find a small restaurant on the river and lunch of beef and rice. Coffee is served in a bowl with original honey. Then we nap because it's really hot in the sun. We come out around 16 pm, to visit the cathedral, nearby, within the revolutionary murals and the Cuban flag. Then we'll visit the house of the Father of the Nation, Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, an aristocrat who freed his slaves and fought all his life for Cuba's independence. We can then find an internet access point, but after half an hour waiting to get access to a post, I can not log on my blog, it really train too, I would do an attempt Santiago later. We buy an ice cream we enjoy on the Revolution Square. In return, we meet a stunning Transporter T1 with its original engine. We find a piano bar for our Mojitos, but the air is so cold that we do not linger not. We continue tomorrow on Bayamo, excursions to the Sierra Maestra was too expensive and far from easy.
