Sunday December 28, 2014

We asked the casa owner the quickest way to the carrareta but forgot to tell him which direction we were going! He directed us to the carrareta going back towards Las Tunas. We turned around and followed the signs towards Havana. Surprisingly the road was very busy today with lots of trucks and buses. A lot of them were driving way too fast and some of them came too close for my liking. It’s Sunday for heavens sake where do you need to get to in such a hurry, endangering your own life and man, beast and cyclists.

Again we have a tail-wind and got to Florida before 10:30. Nothing worthy of note to take photos of.

We are staying with Gustavo and Charel again, they seemed pleased to see us. They have already done some more work on the casa. I gave Charel the photos that we took of them last time we were here.

Because we were finished early, we did our washing and then wandered into Town for lunch. By 2:00 it was very hot, so we returned to the casa with a couple of cans of beer to relax and while away the afternoon.

I read a book on the computer and Ralf finished his book. For dinner we ate at the same restaurant as before – we got there before the rush. We were the first in the restaurant at just after 6:00 pm, we were followed by a family of four, then a big group of eight, another family of four with very cute twin boys. Fortunately we were the first to order and had a lovely meal, which was served quite quickly.

Back to the casa and an early night as we have a long day to Ciego de Avila and we know the road is nasty.
