Day 3/2

After the interesting visit to Anap it was time to exprerience some hands on agricultural activity. The've been driven over to a so called urban agricultural project. The idea behibd this, i s to provide the majority of local people with vegetables without travelling too far.Once in the farm you feel like beeing in the middle of nowhere but in fact we were just few miles away from bustling Havana.The tour begun with a wee speech by one of the cooperative's founder where we've been given freshly squeezed orange juice - very very very nice. After that it was time to have a stroll around fields and see the impressive variety of produce. We also came across the ugliest fruit in the world - Napa.Attached to the farm there's a little outlet but there are also customers that go directly into the fields and pick their product !This project is another example of how Cuba needed this sort of idea after the fall of the USRR and lack of oil import.We boarded the mini bus once again and this time we were brought back to the city centre to have lunch in Chinatown. This chinatown has its origin thanks to the cjinese community that come over to build the railway line. To be sincere ks very small, just a couple of streets but the restaurant we went to was excellent.
