You got to love Jamaican wibe. You're stress is definitely gone with the sea breaze and beautiful views. And the local people help you to relax. There's no problems here, mon.
Beautiful country, nice people.

That is if you keep away from beaches and main streets in larger tourist towns. And even if you do, you'll still meet enough of local "entrepeneurs"... you'll find a hundred and one ways to say NO and it's still not enough. You can buy anything from these guys... and they'll remind you that you should try everything... Because "You're in Jamaica, mon".

But still... me love Jamaican wibe!

Now who would've known that the best bus seats I've ever sat on can be found in Cuba. We took a Viazul bus from Havana to Vinales. Had I known the buses are so great, I would've given a second thought to taking a bus to Santiago de Cuba.

I'm glad we chose to go to Vinales though. The place is like paradise. Green valley full of fruit trees and tabacco farms and friendly people surrounded by mountains. It was great.

Cuba is very laid back. Perception of time can be a bit different from typical Scandinavian standard. Almost nothing starts at the time indicated on timetable. That's probably also why for so many questions/inquiries the answer was "Not today, may be tomorrow." It's a good thing we're on holiday.
