Santiago de Cuba

After a long and VERY cold bustrip I came to Santiago de Cuba and a guy in a very old Lada came and picked me up at the terminal. That was so lucky, because to be honest we were attacked when we went out of thedoor from the terminal. I rented a room in a really nice house with some young and very nice hosts. It was great to be in a house with kids.
It was an awesome city and the first day I went to see the Moncada that was center in a very historic battle in 1953 between Batista's army and a group of Fidel's rebels. It was after this that Fidel held the very famous speech "History will absolve me". It was amazing!

I found the cooleest bookstore in the middle of the city:

It was also in Santiago I met the mazing swiss/colombian couple Sonja and Javier who I ended  up travelling a lot with, and they are really great people. 

This is what we did together:

1. It pissed rained basically all the time we were together in Santiago, so we went to "rain activities" which included a pirate fort and driving around in their rental car.

2. living with these people:

3. going to Baracoa even though it haden't stopped raining for 2 days, and it wouldn't stop any soon.

4. An old black guy proposed to me in Guantanamo.

5. We had a crazy day with a crazy story involving annoying cuban guys, a story about mafiabosses from Medellín, and meeting Nicole. 

Cuba was getting way more fun with these people.
