The night was nice and cool outside, the bungalows are well distant one from the other and the night went on quite and comfy. Breakfast is enjoyable but not that brilliant. It's time to free our arms from the wrist band and travel toward a new destination. We are heading back to the motorway but before joining it we are driven further up into the Bay of Pig. We pass Playa Larga that was the second invasion spot, now that location has been transformed in another turistic resort. Close by these is a memorial to the 160 Cubans that died to defeat that attempt of intrusion in just 68 hours.
Time for lunch and we are brought to the biggest restaurant that I've seen so far. It isn't as ugly as the usual Russian concrete block, is massive but with a good balance between natural stone and wood. Even if it looks modern and elegant, the menu is even more limited that in the other places we've been so far. We are in the surroundings of Havana and we are heading to Soroa, in the west of the country. Once arrived, we visited the local orchid garden; this was an impressive garden example of the fertility of this region. For what I can see this mountainous region is extremely green and full of vegetation. Just next door our accommodation, an hotel with small bungalows and a central swimming pool everything in harmony with the nature. The restaurant doesn't vary from the usual, with the only exception that they stock very expensive Spanish wine.
