куба либре+мохито мозги до утра забиты cuba libre + mojito brains full until morning

before the trip, I read reviews about holidays in Cuba, everyone’s opinions are different, but we honestly really liked it (it’s certainly not Spain, not Cyprus, and not even Turkey and Egypt, but the local color and some kind of atmosphere set up for a wonderful relaxation) began everything from the fact that the flight was delayed for 4 hours, respectively, we arrived at night, and we were taken to the hotel in the morning, of course, the 2nd building and the first floor. We went in and laughed back to change, but there is already a defense like tomorrow he will be the eldest and will solve the problem (they don’t even take money!!!! ) the next day the number was changed through the guide louis orlando (a normal guy is positive) we ended up on On the 4th floor, everything works just fine (a week later the air conditioner broke down in the entire building and we moved to building 1, the room is also fresh) From the first day we fell in love with the ocean, it's just a fairy tale (I got up every morning at 6-30 and ran to the ocean to wake up !! ! feeling fantastic, awesome charge of vivacity) almost didn’t swim in the base (played water polo a couple of times) On the beach, umbrellas, sun loungers, catamarans, kayaks, sailboats are all free, although the instructor asks 5 cookies for a sailboat (like I pay me to drive) a bar with drinks , volleyball, water aerobics, in general, there is enough entertainment. The animators are all local guys, very friendly, they like to chat in a mixture of Spanish, French, English, Russian and gestures. Animation is different every night. Meals are average, in short CUBA!! ! did not go hungry. We went to Havana, a cool city, its history impresses the imagination. We drank a couple of daiquiri cocktails in the Floridita bar, according to local stories, Hemingway himself invented or improved these cocktails and, accordingly, created his works, at the same time visited the Tropicana show, we won’t say anything, you need to watch maybe an amateur. We bought almost all the souvenirs in the harbor, I advise you to buy cigars and rum in state-owned stores, they definitely won’t throw it there, the prices are approximately: a bottle of Santiago rum 7 years old 7.6 cookies, for cigars the prices are generally large, from 3 cookies to 500 for a souvenir box. In the restaurants at the hotel, every waiter at any time of the day always has both cigars and rum cheaper than the official prices at times, but this is a risk. At the end of the holiday, we went to Varadero itself to the market to buy souvenirs, a 2-storey bus runs 5 cookies, a ticket for the whole day calls in almost all hotels. The fact that Cubans treat Russians badly is complete nonsense (unless, of course, you don’t yell at the bar in the morning, listen, give me a double whiskey, and in response to the bartender’s answer, drive at him like you’re a bad monkey, you’ll have problems and all that, the boy from Tyumen came, he is resting so much. . . ) there were enough Canadians there, of course, but the Russians are redeemed right away : ))). We flew out of Havana normally without delays, the Prada airport is an old analogue of Sheremetyev2, you stand in lines for a very long time, and then you still have to pay 25 cookies (airport tax). In general, we liked the rest, we will return more than once to the ocean !!!! !
