The
drive to Baracoa with a map book we borrowed off the son of the lovely Cuban
family we had supper with was not the best, but a great deal better than
nothing. We managed to find our way out of Holguin going towards Santiago
de Cuba, but found ourselves swept into Santiago without meaning to be.
Eventually, we found a very small tarmac road which took us towards Guantanimo
and Baracoa and then joined a very good road to Guantanimo, so much better than
any other, possibly something to do with the American presence in Guantanimo Bay
which is, of course, a strictly no go area. ![]() Ploughing the hard way, on the way to Guantanimo
![]() A view of inland Cuba on the way to Guantanimo.
![]() Guantanamo Bay, about as close as we got to the bay.
![]() Well, you know when you have got there!
![]() The main square, Guantanamo.....
![]() .....Which has some lovely buildings and....
![]() ....a big street party on Easter Sunday, including hog roasts and temporary
street side restaurants.
![]() The view from our room in Villa Lupe, according to Lonely Planet the best
place to stay in or around Guantanimo. It would have been better if they
were not having a huge and noisy party around the swimming pool to celebrate
Easter Sunday.
Time to start another blog.
