Eigth Day - The Cuba Diary


Day Eight: Cayo Blanco!

Continuation to the posts of our Cuba adventure in March.
Read about day 7 here.


March 13. we woke up early for breakfast.
At 8am there was a taxi waiting for us outside our casa particular and the journey to the marina began!


After some waiting our catamaran headed off to seaaaa towards the little paradise island, Cayo Blanco.
We found out that here are many islands called 'Cayo Blanco' in Cuba, but the one we went to was situated outside of Trinidad.

Most of the other travelers were older than us, so they stayed happily sitting inside the catamaran and left the unsafe-looking net all for us. We spent the 1.5hour long catamaran trip sleeping, sunbathing and enjoying the perfect weather.


Need I say anything...

There were crazy many crabs (that looked like crab-snails) crawling around, and a few iguanas, which we bravely stroked.


Time was spent snorkeling, sunbathing, eating and getting to know some German guys and a lady who invited us to go party with them in the evening.
Well, we never heard from them so that plan never came true. Maybe for the best as we were all red and tired from the sun.

When we were eating the weather turned cold and rainy. Good timing as it was time to head back home. Once the rain stopped we hopped onto the net of the catamaran and headed back to the marina of Trinidad.


In the evening we were on our way to the bus station to buy tickets for the morning's bus back to Havana. On our way a guy stopped us and asked if we wanted to go to Havana in his taxi.
How did he guess we were going to Havana?
We got a deal that the guy would take us from door to door for the same price as the bus. Payment due in Havana.
Of course this was way more convenient than first walking to the bus station, taking a cold bus to Havana and then taking a taxi to our hotel.
Taxi - deal.

We headed back to our casa particular for dinner, and spent the whole evening dancing and having a photo shoot with the beautiful Barbara-Lucia, the child of the house we were staying at.
That little kid is so adorable!

Sanni, what do you think about visiting them again in 10 years when she turns 18?;-)
