Feb. 18 ... Left Playa Larga 9am, arrived Cienfuegos
10:30am -- $45 taxi for all four of us.
Our casa (Casa Colonial) absolutely gorgeous!
It's a historical house -- very "rich" indeed!
We took the kids to the main square (Parque
Marti) and down the craft street. They loved the museum -- Urban Historic
Center of Cienfuegos -- with the bell tower on top. They went all the way up
while we sat in the square and rested. They liked the theater -- Teatros Tomas
Terry, too. Both were very interested in various art galleries and shops.
2 Bici-taxi drivers took us to a nice place
that served STEAK (Brisas del Mar). Service was sooooo slow -- got there at 5:30
pm, finally left at 8:00p! But food was excellent!
Feb. 19 … Jesse and JF off to Santa Clara at
930 am /taxi only $40 for 200K! Then to our next casa -- Hostal Ariel y Baby. Wonderful
people, nice place, full size fridge. Nice location for $30 per night. But it
was very noisy -- loud talking after 9pm, loud music some nights, and meals were
always 1/2 hour to an hour late -- flies and mosquitos = new bites every day!
Yay! We found out Villa Nora can take us on
March 1st for $30 per night for a month. We found this casa last
year and loved it but they couldn’t fit us in when we first arrived in
Cienfuegos. It will be soooo nice not to have to pack/unpack every few days!!!
EEK!! -- Evening ... started to take a drink
of my iced tea and saw a tiny lizard floating in the last dredges of it! It was the length of my little finger but
only 1/2 the width lengthwise -- real slender. Yikes amighty!
Feb. 28 ... chilly morning again. We went to
the Museo Historico Naval -- very interesting history about September 1957 when
naval officers rebelled against the Batista regime. No charge for the guided
tour, or to take pics.
