We were late leaving Camaguey in the bus, so it gave us lots of time to check out the hotel's environs. A wide plaza with galleries, restaurants and the street sculptures. We began riding at about 1.30pm towards Holguin but we stopped at about the 32km mark as there were some serious hills on the potholed roads and it was getting darker, everyone back in the bus before nightfall.
Our hotel was stately, but nevertheless the electricity went off again. It does go off every day in Cuba. A bit annoying for us as travellers, but much more annoying for those who want to live a life and make a living in this country.
We visited Fidel Castro's childhood home before arriving at our hotel. There was the car, the bedrooms, the grounds and a lot more to take a look at and imagine a life lived there.
