Images of the Day
Day Course: 84 Kilometers
Silent Night and super breakfast, and is in great shape as we got into our taxi to explore the Atlantic Ocean port to Gibara half-hour drive. Super car, because it is a Chevrolet 1955, restored and maintained, the original engine was replaced by a Mitsubishi snoring. On the road, carriages or bicycles. We cross the pasture cattle, mainly high for milk and some for meat, according to Raoul, our driver. Then we can Gibara, the port is off the tour operators and we are the only tourists around. The population is smiling and patiently stood in line in front of stores, more or less well stocked. After a detour through the high point of the city, we can see the carcass of a Chinese cargo ship, came aground on the coast. We descend into the center and is on foot as we walk this old colonial city or Christopher Columbus stepped ashore and took possession of the island for the English crown. The atmosphere is very quiet and approach people is slow. A former selling me a carved wooden cane. Buy favorite. We stroll along the pier, sculptures line the quay. We take a pot at the local bar and we go on Holguin. We go to the search for a restaurant, but it is still early and only a few cafeterias are open, we opt for a small pizza. Great American cars of the 50s are stationed along the main square. A convertible toured the city with a young girl of 15, dressed in pink. Is a Cuban tradition that we had talked about Ana. The girls, on the day of 15 years are a big party all dressed in pink is a way of leaving childhood into adolescence in a formal way. For families, it is an opportunity for a big party and have souvenir pictures. We returned to the casa until sunset that we'll shoot the Luma de la Cruz, a high point just above the city. Raoult's son leads us to the top of the hill overlooking the city. View from here is superb and the sunset is worth the trip. Then, Mojito and Salsa in town as we leave tomorrow to join Bayamo bus.
