Testimonial Cuba

Maria – 38 years

Cuba has fascinated me since many years. I have been longing to go there, and when it finally became a reality I had butterflies in my stomach while packing my backpack. In my mind I pictured Cuba as the land of salsa dancing, old Americans and Cuban cigars But I was also curious to see, with my own eyes, the actual living conditions at Cuba.

It felt as if I had to see Cuba before its inevitable change into one of all the other tourist-minded countries.

I liked the last days at Cayo Santa Maria the best. The hotel was great with lots to do. We played basketball in the pool, tennis, air-hockey, ping-pong and many other sports.
