Vinales
Vinales is an area to the west of Cuba (3 hours from Havana by bus) famous for its natural beauty. The country feel in the town was really wonderful and the main recreational pastime seems to be sitting in your rocking chair on the porch shouting conversation to your neighbours across the street or to those passing by. The heat was unbelievable and our room did not adapt well to our attempts at air-conditioning so we headed to one of the hotels to make use of their pool for the day. We drank mojitos (a typical cuban cocktail containing rum and mint) and tried to stay cool. There is not much in the way of restaurants in the town but our homestay offered us enormous meals of very tasty typical Cuban plates (like 4 pork chops each besides the rice and beans and salad!). The food was so much we ended up sharing one meal each night. Again - Che images were everywhere to be seen.
