Discover Cuba By Bike
TTO - Cuba people are surprised to see tourists cycling noon sun chang chang. But many foreigners find the interesting discovery when the island with the ducks iron, by bicycle is a means for real speed of life here.
In early 1990 the island country, this severe lack of fuel, so they have more than half a million bicycles from China. Cycling has become the transport and transport the most important on this island.
Before moving to the food, Dona Julia very well kept up bike terrain our behind in the coffee farms of her. Of her neighbors do not see the way the bike. Reason: Julia will earn a cash salary of more than a normal Cuba as the new year as the only pork dishes milk back their renowned for us. And it should not for all you people galactic mountain village in Sierra del Escambray know this.
Fifteen people were quiet in Julia's room on all types of chairs that we found in a house precarious chairs, chairs titles and some with chairs. We are very hungry after a few hours in line cycling ram through the forest, the waterfalls and the majestic scenery of this region. Besides pigs milk recording, Julia also brings us to the rice, and cheese by hand only, fruits are pineapple and oi.
But still missing one group - he always cycling before we go quite far and not see the point in that we unify before departure. House in the farm where we were sitting almost obscure by bushy leaves. Julia called to ask a driver passing: "There are tourists encounter any cyclists last?", He g?t and said: "There are met, about 5km ago a cyclists are standing waiting ". Strangers here is unmistakable, especially their cycling between heaven noon sunlight.
Most people laugh or Cuba, we consider we are those who khng when we see cycling while in a behind the buses have air corridor are after. We are an exciting and delicious about the combination of cycling and bus. We cyclists are in the most beautiful scenery, but cavalier sitting on the bus the air.
Each morning, a bicycle and was taken to the point. Who has not h?ng or no effort to cycling because of the previous evening drinking alcohol rum (Cuba Libre) is just too quiet for the bus and taken to a destination.
But the trip by one we must not sit back on the bus. The reason is simple: bike means appropriate to the speed of life on this island where Columbus is considered the most beautiful that people can see on this Earth.
In Cuba the time lapse as more slowly. Seven days from now, we're cycling through the country and used to go to the end to that and then admiration. Who hands so we offer a chair from their precarious - the chair that the family will have. Young children regurgitate the road and we welcome a warmly.
At the bus with air-conditioned and with a black glass plate, the person sitting in it will not feel out what we received. Different bus, cycling when we can stop wherever we want.
I stopped at a school level III named Maxim Gorki. In a garden of orchids in bloom glowing like fire. While I'm off hui photographs, a flower she steps out and picked a leaf for my gift. Gifts in this country is a customs often encountered, although the lack of.
Revolution in Cuba was 50 years old after Fidel Castro declared victory before despotism Fulgencio Batista on 1-1-1959. Cuba today as a possible outdoor museum. With the creation of translation, Cuba people still retain almost all, especially cars. Of the American Automobile Oldtimer are painted garish colors that we still see in the streets full of Havanna and is attracted by the camera tourists.
We have been making eyes witnessed the creation of non-stop in Cuba to keep what they have. For transport, the creativity is not limited. And a cycling tour along the highways is a job extremely attractive. You will not see two cars and a brand name but you will see the type of car that you do not think it exists in this life.
Car only has two wheels, the bike has 3 and motorcycles are up to 5 wheels. Besides the car and coach are simple but useful. Not transport any here can classify it as something. Only one type of car that will have them as our press and whistle hand so we offer very friendly. Cuba is the lack of fuel and most vehicles here throughout the moss so the best is not far from where to go with them all.
Instead, the 1990s, Cuba has imported about half a million bicycles from China, because after the Soviet Union collapse, the Cuba also lost supplies of petroleum. Slogans of the period that is "A vehicle for revolution".
We are cycling through forest country Vinales. Signs before the national forest in the first valley is "Nature and Revolution", the group through the dust Bougainvilleen flowers, the red flower fences abuse but, through the orange growing farm, the field tree tobacco and stop at places where farmers here sell bananas, pineapple and pomelos themselves by planting and harvesting. Nature here wonderful and plentiful! The revolution is?
Revolution, every person cycling through all this can be assessed by way of their own. If every top of the mountain peaks up to a ng?n and we always try to overcome all tired to the target automatically as the slogan "Hasta la victoria siempre - until the victory" is at the top tongue of each person.
Slogans as well as the other more slogan of Che Guevara are in the T-shirt shirt, on the bridge, on the sheet postcard. Although we can jump on the bus at any time, but can not top a easy way like that. And rewards to try to not tired of our landscape is wonderful that people can enjoy from the top of the mountain - invaluable gift!
Valley under the late afternoon sunshine as the more lively and more garish, in part due to the light but it is the students on the way home from school in the uniform white / red and the farmers growing tobacco for the vehicle are on the way from the days of contract.
New Ti?ng their expectations from the wall the mountain air at times di?u Salsa from the house. And though the stormy match last seeds of the tung roofs of their houses, but Cuba's still fun to live and not for the difficulties ahead to blight his life.
