Good night, then after breakfast, during which we meet the son of Reina, neuro ophthalmologist doctor, 6 years of medical school then 3 years of ophthalmology and neurology two years, he worked at the hospital in Baracoa, for between 35 and 50 CUC per month. We come out to visit the local museum is housed in an old English fort. At the entrance, a Cuban presents his book on Baracoa, in passing, we learn that the smallest frog in the world, is 9.3 mm in the region and there are 4 varieties of royal palms. Buccaneers and French settlers expelled from Haiti have taken root in the region and many have names of French origin. Then we return to the casa and prepare our bags. At the appointed hour, our taxi-bicycles and this takes us to the bus station. Before the Malecon, he explains that giant wave devastated, 2 years ago, while the waterfront with heights of 5 floors. Buildings are still in ruins, fortunately, there were no casualties. Rec Room Wait, we buy chocolate bars, for Baracoa a chocolate factory. Our bus is on time and we take the reverse route to Santiago de Cuba. The driver has many friends and we stopped frequently for people or bags to hold or to fill the briefcase include small greens. Guantanamo and Santiago at dusk. We wait in the waiting room talking with two couples travel from Nantes, the night bus to Havana to present and 22 hours, we say goodbye to Santiago. The driver will listen to the radio up to 23 hours. Then we try to sleep. The road is so bad and the bus was so little shock that we have again the impression of being in a shaker. Tomorrow morning we arrive in Santa Clara, home of Che.
