Terribly? Horrible?! Awful!!! ))) Terribly? Horrible?! Awful!!! )))

Tez tour . . 3 hours of waiting at the airport after a 12-hour flight Moscow-Havana on a hot tropical day, while the rest of the tourists and the guide's doubts pass the control, and whether they put you on the right bus, our voyage began. Slowness or "stupidity" is a hallmark of the Cubans. Stops in the ladies' room - "in the field. " Bars/gas stations are not accepted. They gave a tip, it became accepted) The bus was supported, saved rum, immediately purchased upon arrival))
At the reception. . Room only facing the courtyard to the bay. Seaview was given for 60 euros. The porter rests at night. Holy! Oh, the corridors, oh, the room! Well-deserved 3 * and then thanks to the first line of the ocean. The bathroom unpleasantly aroused the desire not to touch the plumbing, tiles, bathroom. Toilet paper - half a roll for one trip) Water was given every day and it was quite drinkable. Soft like Italian. Have a bite to eat at the Panorama Sandwich Bar, you wait a long time, there is little taste) Ketchup and mustard run out regularly, but without them "boutiques" have nothing! ! Cola, coffee with milk vaguely resembled a world brand and a country, one of the exporters of coffee)
Breakfast / lunch / dinner in the "canteen" . . Tomatoes did not ripen, peas, corn, onions, sluggish asparagus. Salads from the same products, plus fish / meat not previously eaten in the same place. Season/don't season, better wash down with a cocktail. Natural sterilization! Side dishes - rice yes, legumes: black, white beans (as in poor ancient Russia in Russian fairy tales), spaghetti / pasta - and why pour the so-called. sauce. Hot Entrees - Have you ever made black pea soup at home with fried bacon floating on top? ! Appetizing look, disgusting taste. The chicken, right, was served 2 times in 2 weeks. Stewed potatoes with chicken sometimes helped out. The line for fried meat/fish (terribly rare and terribly salty, unwashed as soon as from the ocean) was touching with its length and the ability of foreign tourists the size of pigs (author's) to chew from a plate with their hands upright.

Drinks. . Please, gentlemen, please! We call, we scream. But then we give and distribute to all hotel employees in all shifts, raising the well-being of the staff and improving your comfort, and then, lo and behold, you are warmly greeted and sung in the way that your heart desires, provided that the bar is staffed) You heard a cocktail - rum / ice / rum? And he is)) Mojito 2/3 rum, too. And whiskey-cola, daiquiri, unfortunately not. Cookies won't help. In Havana at the Floridita, yes!
The principles of Cuban life . . He is alone! There is a problem, try to solve it. Can't decide - drink rum! Island of Eternal Holiday! ) If you want to become a part of it and outshine the cons of the hotel and partially the country - drink! Lots of variety and fun!
Restaurant on the map of the hotel . . Late, cookies were given, boring, insipid, sour wine! And Argentina and Chile are not far away) Fields of green agave. For tequila - blue. Why isn't it growing? The Spaniards both brought and grows. What about yourself? But there was no team)) We extract oil, export it, import gasoline. Vacation 45 days, holidays of all countries of the world, plus the absence of the police and ppm. White line) We walk!
Show Continental in the International . . I love watching shows in the world, variety shows, opera. You can watch once! The Palace of Culture room, red tablecloth, even cut glasses. We make a holiday for ourselves, we dance with Cubans, we feel Cuba.
Disco. . There is also free, except for the payment for drinks. And you have to drink because it's impossible to dance to it! Spanish clips - back to USSR ))) And even the 25th cocktail does not stimulate dancing)
Havana. . Definitely worth it! Spanish style, great guide Gina (read tips again and generously) and lots of stories and traditions of the country to share with you! Restaurant and hotel where Hemingway visited, must drink daiquiri places. The best! The Tobacco Factory is welcome to follow/be ahead of the 5-year plan, but develop. Live cigars number 1 in the world you need to know how to wrap with slobbery fingers))

Ocean food. . Not available in hotels. They don't serve. Generally! Well, if the paella has shrimp, then if you have time to choose. Squids in sunflower oil are like potatoes at McDonald's. Once a month you can) There are a couple of restaurants, Quixote near the tower and a 5 * restaurant on the sea pier. Why 5*? Because the ladies' room is clean, there is toilet paper, there are toothpicks, napkins are served, napkins are laid on your feet, you choose the lobster yourself, there is a choice of seafood dishes, including the European table. Grand merci to the owner, in a country where everything is nationalized)
Taxi . . We didn’t take buses, for a long time and appearance, regular Varadero tourism is double bass heat, but the taxi is excellent. Feed a couple of minutes. From the hotel to the 15th souvenir street 5 cookies. Cadillac convertible (the cutest pink) 35 cookies from Central Park Street to the end of the peninsula. A lot of emotions! We saw mangroves, and a bay for scooters, a golf club, and a mosquito corn field nearby)
Cubans. . Be friends, pay, drink and you will have a holiday! Everyone knows, everyone will tell, everyone will show and drink with you! Crime is low harsh laws and the death penalty, life on cards does not force, but in tourism from agriculture everyone smiles) They become more efficient for a fee and “everything good is remembered”)
Cubans. . In the show, in the markets of souvenirs are open and friendly. Unobtrusive, unlike other average resort countries. Mestizos, mulattos, singers, dancers. P. s. All can be kings! Or 40 euros for "peculiarities of national cuisine"))
Children of foreign tourists . . Either they need to be loved, or they need to be well educated! A foreign mother, drinking a cocktail at 11 pm, hardly watches the noise of 10 “Cossack robbers” hiding behind your chair, just when you are frivolously talking with friends about the book of Nobel Hemingway or the greatness of Russian prose. And the Russians are noisy! There is no animation for children, they do not understand English, so even dad smiles sweetly incomprehensibly at the loud non-literary Russian “mother, take the offspring” in response! ))

The cleanliness of the territory. . There is no such word in the International Hotel! Noooo! ! Glasses along the coast, along the beach, with cocktails go straight into the ocean, go out, respectively, empty-handed. There are a lot of trash cans, even if there are no ashtrays, but they can walk a couple of steps, but they don’t. Foreigners are strange people, if the hotel is bad or they are on vacation, then the culture is down. Oh (( Sunbeds are mostly broken or occupied, because they are not calculated according to the number. The pool is small and dirty, and with chlorine! We do not deviate from tradition! Brr.
But most importantly! The ocean is beautiful, except when it starts to rain, the sand is light and pleasant, if not in the sun. And friends! My boyfriend and I met great guys from Moscow and Tyumen and created a holiday called Cuba ourselves! ! So go to Cuba, go to Varadero, make friends, bring funny stories, bring coffee, rum and cigars, enjoy the Cuban carnival and an eternal holiday in your soul, but don't stop at the Internacinal! And then you can say with confidence - Cuba, my love!! !
