065 Cycle Touring Cuba

(Leana) #1

Remedios – Quemado de Guines - 110 km app
Packing my still damp laundry, I headed south. My intention was to
go to Santa Martha, but I couldn’t face another touristy town and
turned off and cycled along the coast. I half regretted the decision
when the rain came, rain which continued for the rest of the day. It
rained so hard that water couldn’t drain fast enough, and my path
soon turned into a mini river. With no reason or place to stop, I
proceeded until reaching an area with accommodation. People
pointed me to a hotel but it had no rooms, only a restaurant, even
though it was called a hotel.


In bucketing rain, and wading through ankle-deep water, I finally
found accommodation. My only option was a room that could be
rented by the hour so I had to wait until the occupants were done. To
pass the time, I went to a nearby restaurant to eat, as I was starving.
When I returned, the room was available, and I could finally change
into dry clothes after hanging out my wet ones.
