Cuba Day 8 - Vinales
I've been longing to go to the countryside since my 2nd day in Havana. I think I'm more a country person. The Viazul bus station in Havana is a bit frantic. Seats are given to people who booked their ticket at another office first, though me and some other folks got there way ahead of time, we weren't able to buy ticket until the last minute. During that time, people got frustrated, people trying to make plan B with the taxi drivers. At the end we all got in with 1 or 2 empty seats left on the bus. After couple hours of drive through the lush forest and hills, as the bus made the final turn descend into the valley, the unmistakable Vinales landscape appears. The air here as expected is so much more enjoyable. The owner of my cass "Tatio" is already waiting for me at the bus stop. We walked couple blocks into this tiny neighborhood, complete with a small lawn and porch, overlooking the beautiful mountain, I can't wait to sit down and relax and just enjoy the view.
