We were in Cuba for a week. There we rented a car. This country barely drives a car. They go here with horses or they ride a truck especially for people. There are also very old Dutch city buses and taxis. They are poor here, but they do get food and drinks, let's say they just get free things to live on. We drove through Cuba by car for a week, and slept at other people's homes. The first night was in a house. The second night was in a hotel where you could even go horseback riding. We did. We went with 5 horses. Four for us and one for the gentleman.
It was super fun, on the way back we passed a house. There we were allowed to look. In the garden of that house grew coffee beans. The owner of the house stomped a lot of coffee beans together, after a minute the coffee beans were turned into coffee powder. The coffee had even drunk dad and mom too. They liked it very much. When they had finished the coffee we went back to the hotel with the horses.
The next day we went for a walk with a Cuban guide who could speak Dutch. The walk was very nice, in the jungle even trees grew from which you were not allowed to touch them because then you got a lot of pain. After the walk we took the car to another hotel. When we arrived we got out of the car. The hotel was a bit expensive, so we went to a house. There you could also sleep, in that house was a very nice lady who was good english.
Stayed in that house for 2 days. When those two days were over we went to another house. There we spent the last 2 days. When the week was over we took the car back to the boat. It was a fantastic week!
Yesterday we took a canadian boat on the beach-bbq-ed.
That was a lot of fun, too.
