A trip that made me feel blessed one more time for being born in a democratic country. 🙏🏻
DAY 1 - VARADERO
Arrived early in the morning at Havana airport and already felt the humidity and warm climate! 😅
The bus was outside waiting for us to get on board and go to our first destination in Varadero!
Buying internet: When it comes to internet, there is a desk inside the airport that you can buy 6GB for 32 euro but it will not last more than 6-7 days! Furthermore, wifi at the hotels, works with hotspot, which means that you will face difficulties with the connection! The first day was a bit of nightmare for me as i was used to perfect internet connection, but then i realized that this was a good opportunity to actually relax and enjoy the place i was visiting! I recommend you do the same and you won't regret it!
We had a small stop on our way to see the view of a beautiful spot and of course try our first Piña colada!
cheers! 🍍🍍🍍 |
After 3 hours more or less, we finally arrived in our hotel in Varadero! We had a welcome drink which was made from the bartender and i am not sure what it was but i tried it!
Once we settled, i wore my bathing suite and went straight to the beach area to relax a bit form the long trip! The sea was not as i was expecting it as i am Greek you know and i find it difficult to see something more beautiful than the mesmerizing colors of the Ionian sea!
My balcony view! 😊 |
I then return to my room, had a bath and got ready for dinner time. The hotel was an all included type, so we had a bouffe which was awful. I am not overreacting! I saw Canadians to enjoy a little the bouffe but for us, Mediterranean people the food was not even eatable! The only thing that you could eat safely was the rice!
