Up at 7 and finishing off our packing, before hoisting our bags and preparing to leave our Havana home. We checked out at 8 and it looked as if we had dragged poor Lisette out of bed. Yesterday she had done some laundry for us and we later discovered that Grandma had actually done it and by hand and when we checked out she wasn’t going to charge us for it….god if only all our accommodation had been this good. Of course we gave her some extra for this service, I mean poor Grandma has not only had to do laundry but also let us in at midnight, she deserved something. Our bus was leaving from the Seville hotel, which was a ten minute walk and with full back packs is always a good heart starter.
Got down to the hotel and then proceeded to wait for our 8.30 bus that didn’t turn up till 9.15. As usual the bus was travelling all over town picking up tourists from all the hotels and of course we were one of the last. We were travelling with a bus company called
Playa Giron
Fill her upTranstur, which we think is fairly new as it is not mentioned in the Lonely Planet, but has buses everywhere and seems only to cater for International tourists. Before leaving the city the conductor got up and told us where we were heading and all the scheduled stops, it all seemed very professional. About two hours out from Havana we stopped for a quick toilet stop and then we were told we would have a food stop in an hour. The next stop rather than being an hour was closer to 20 minutes away, which suited us fine as we were starving as we hadn’t had breakfast. We stopped at a small roadside diner and after some difficulties got a ham and cheese sandwich on bread shaped like a crocodile…rather odd.
