Cuba Day3 Video

We headed to Havana City on day 3, we got up really early in the morning to meet up with the cab driver.  It took us around 2 hours to get to Havana and met up with our Chinese tour guide at the hotel we were going to stay that night.  It was their policy that we had to have another Spanish/English speaking tour guide to come with us which I think is kind of weird.  Anyways, we did take a good look at the city and we went to a lot of places on our first day, I can’t say it was fun because the weather was super hot and we didn’t expect we had to walk soo much in one day.  Surprisingly, there were soo many police in the places we went to, I don’t know why but at least we felt very secured :p

After the long day of sweating and walking, we finally headed back to our hotel at about 4:00  Once we got to our rooms, we find out the hotel condition was way under our expectation.  Air conditioning was enough, no hot water, only little water in the shower, the swimming pool was old and small, the beach area was way too dirty and even the food was bad…  I don’t know if that’s the same with most of the hotels there but it was a really bad experience for us.

We did walk around the are a little after our dinner, then we headed back to our rooms and decided to just chat instead of going anywhere…  what a drag 🙁  But anyhow, there were some nice places we visited and I had put together 3 long videos below.  Enjoy 😀

Cuba Day2 Video

Day 2 was where the fun starts.  The weather was super nice, sunny and little wind, so we spent most of the time in the Beach and the Pool, and of course lots of drinking too, haha 😀  Anyways, I won’t say much here, you can check it out in my videos 😀

Cuba Day1 Video

I stayed over night at Paul and Mary’s house and at the end, I didn’t even get to sleep because we only had little time to nap so I decided to watch TV and waited until the cab comes.  They got up really early that day because our flight was at 6:20 in the morning and we had to leave Paul’s house at about 4:00.  Everyone was tired and excited at the same time because it was a first time to Cuba for the 4 of us.

Once we got to the airport, I was surprised that there was soo many people taking the same flight with us.  Anyhow, we got on the plane at about 6:00 and I almost fell asleep right away.  From napping on and off, I did take some videos and made a Pre Day1 video for youtube.

The timing was perfect after my long nap on the plane, I got up and we were almost there :p  Once we got off the plane, we could feel the hot temperature right away, hot hot hot…  The airport was quite small and it didn’t take us long to go through the whole customs stuff then we headed outside.  The bus was right there at the front door and there were people handing out free beer for us already, god, free beer!!!  We got on the bus and started heading to our hotel, but too bad the air conditioning wasn’t strong enough and we were sweating like crazy.

Once we got to our hotel, we all decided to take a shower first before we started our little adventure there.  God, it was soo hot and I still remember after like 30min of the shower, we were all wet with sweat again.  But you know what, everything was free so I just had to start ordering drinks, haha.  Oh oh, and of course we needed food :p  We had our lunch at buffet inside the resort and  the food was really alright, at least not like what I was told  :p

We did take a nap after lunch because we didn’t really have much sleep.  We were walking around and trying to get a good look at the place.  We did find a lot of interesting stuffs like lizards everywhere, hehe.  The resort was quite huge and lots of things to see.  The pool was nice and the BEACH was really nice.  So most of our afternoon was to explore the place.  Dinner was at the same place we had lunch and of course, it was all drinking, drinking and drinking.  I don’t even remember how many drinks I had that day but at the end of the night, I was pretty hammered.  But oh well, that’s what I was there for wasn’t it :p

You can find more fine details of the resort in my Day1videos below.
