Vinales –

cuba vinales streets morning backpacker backpacking travelThe bus to Cienfuegos starts at 6:45 today, so we have to get up early. Getting up early. Twice in a row. On a holiday. Mehh… Having a look at the watch: Just shortly after 5 o’clock. We had already packed our stuff and paid for the room yesterday. As a matter of fact, we agreed with Aleida to leave the key on the windowledge as soon as we leave and are just about to quietly sneak out without waking everyone up, but this does not work with old ladies! Grandma is already awake for some time made us some food packages to go. “If you do not have time to have breakfast…” – so we kids grow up fit and strong . With a “Take care of yourselves and have fun” we get said goodbye – and also get a business card of a friend of hers in Cienfuegos, which welcomes guests. So far, staying in  Casas Particular is extremely simple – I cannot believe that you can find an actually bad Casa here – the people are super friendly and extremely helpful, and prices are everywhere between 10 CUC (10.00 USD) – 20 CUC (20.00 USD) per night.
