Most Inspirational Moment
Finishing the last leg of the last day and managing to keep up with everyone else - not something I'd managed on the other days!! Arriving at a village park on the day of Fidel Castro's Birthday to be greeted by children dancing salsa and being offered huge slabs of "Birthday Cake" with nothing other than Cuban Cola on sale which went perfectly with the Rum one of our party had purchased - classic!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jose was a great guide, very knowledgable, enthusiastic and a great sense of humour. He definitely inspired an interest in the life and history of Cuba and the Cubans.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As I said in my summary be warned it is hot in August but the support vehicle is always there so if waivering just give it a go you'll see a life in a completely different way, take your own saddle or at least a gel cover as you don't want saddle sores to blight your trip. Fabulous people, so friendly, welcoming and generous when they have so little compared to us for such a well educated population, our driver was a lawyer and our guide was a languages teacher!
