I've just come back from 15 days in Cuba. It was my second trip and I had a great time. I visited Havana, Santiago, Baracoa, Las Terrazas and Vinales. I used internal flights and hire cars to get around and stayed in hotels. If you want to know more, have a look at my diary.
On the roads there are few signs pointing to towns and the only road map, the Guia de Carreteras, doesn't have much detail. On my first trip to Cuba I was not aware of this and got very lost on my first drive. Day 3 of the diary on the above web page describes the three things I did to avoid getting lost this time. One of these was to use Gmaps-Pedometer to get the K markers for the crucial turns of each route.
As a result of this trip, I've produced some waymarks for driving from Santiago to Baracoa, Baracoa to Santiago, Havana to Las Terrazas, Las Terrazas to Vinales and Vinales to Havana. They are given in the waymarks section of the above web page.
Next time, I plan to stay in casa particulares, and go to Trinidad as well. But before I go, I must improve on my Spanish. |
