Great day!
The cute little puppy, who I’ve called Diego, was outside our room waiting for us when we got up! He came in for a cuddle and a nap; we found out afterwards he’s spent the night on the bed in someone else’s room!
The weather was overcast and we had a spot of rain but, after yesterday where there was very little shade, it was most welcome. We started off in quite heavy traffic out of town, which was not fun (fuel emissions are not of any concern for the Cubans!) but soon riding through smaller towns which made for an interesting ride.
In fact Mark missed one of the rest stops and carried on for 30kms on his own! He kept to the main road, found a bar and was waiting for us when we arrived!
We had a picnic lunch again and we’d made record time and finished at 2.30. In fact it would have been earlier but the bus driver got lost on the way to the hotel so of course he was followed round and round by a chain of 40 cyclists!
As we made such good time we visited the Che Guevara Mausoleum, which is very grand and spectacular.
The hotel was good again and I managed to stay up till 10.30 – a record! The evening entertainment told the story of slavery and was really rather good. Tonight a tried a Cuba Libra which was a bit unexciting – tried 2 Pina Colada instead just to make sure they’re really my favourite!
