Most Inspirational Moment
Just sitting on the pavement in Trinidad listening to some street musicians playing marvellous music - we were their main audience and as a result of our support and applause the crowds gathered!The way a group of people can gel almost immediately and create friendships that we all know will last long after the trip The friendliness of the people and stress free approach to enjoying life.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jose was really incredible. So passionate about his country but also very keen to make sure we had an amazing experience. He was flexible when necessary and managed to squeeze the most out of the opportunities for us to experience Cuba.Occasionally his briefings were a little long but his humour and enthusiasm were infectious.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We were advised via Trip Notes and friends that we had to watch for 3 things.To quote "The food will be bland, the hotels average and take your own toilet paper "Wrong!The food was excellent, varied and healthy (I have never felt fitter), the hotels were of a good standard and toilet facilities just fine .Advice? Make sure you take insect repellant - we did and were grateful .... and high factor suncream.More advice? Go there! One extra piece of information - make sure you are fit for cycling, train before you go - it was sometimes demanding in the heat and the last day's hill climb with 30 degree heat was quite tough!
