May 18, 2009 - Varadero, Cuba

Once we arrived in Varadero we headed to Cubatour to find out about hotels. ... Varadero is certainly a huge tourist area and law prevents casa being an option in tourist areas. ... One of the great things about Varadero is they have a huge shopping area, and guess what they have at the shopping malls yes, stores that sell bikinis. ... The time in Varadero went by quickly and was relaxing. ...

Friday 10th August First stop on our first day in Cuba was clearly going to be to an ATM.it seemed that people just like playing with buttons because by the time we got there Zoe and I were both finished in a minute having paid our 20% US dollar conversion fee, despite the fact I was withdrawing the tourist convertible pesos from pounds - very annoying! Quick dash back to the hotel and we were on our transfer to the beach at Varadero for our all inclusive experience at Villa Tortuga. ... Now I was feeling pretty guilty about this but it had been included with flights at a very reasonable rate and well I guess we both thought we deserved it.Friday 10th August First stop on our first day in Cuba was clearly going to be to an ATM.it seemed that people just like playing with buttons because by the time we got there Zoe and I were both finished in a minute having paid our 20% US dollar conversion fee, despite the fact I was withdrawing the tourist convertible pesos from pounds - very annoying!

Zaterdag zijn we met de taxi aangekomen in hotel Coral te Varadero, het grootste resort in het Caraibische gebied. ... Zij hadden ongeveer hetzelfde reisschema als wij, maar zijn iets eerder in Varadero aangekomen. ... Leuk om verhalen uit te wisselen en vanavond (de laatste avond) gezamenlijk eten en na de show de disco in! Verder weinig te vertellen over deze on-cubaanse omgeving.Zaterdag zijn we met de taxi aangekomen in hotel Coral te Varadero, het grootste resort in het Caraibische gebied. ...
