2009.11.03 Going to Trinidad

Hitchhiking in Cienfuegos motivated us to do the same from Cienfuegos to Trinidad, which meant for us almost one and half hour of walking under burning sun from the downtown Cienfuegos to the place, where we could hitchhike. After another half an hour of nothing I began to reevaluate our plans.

Actually in Cuba almost in every intercity bus stop there is a person in yellowish costume who stops a car or a truck. We asked for a help from one of these officials, an old man. And finally we were in Russian GAZ, the driver later dropped us in crossroad where a plenty of people were already waiting for any car going to Trinidad.

Two girls from England stopped to pick up us. They took an old nice and big cabriolet with driver in Havana, and were driving all the way from Havana more than 3 hours under sun, totally wasted.

At the end, we can check that we did hitchhiking in Cuba, and it was different experience and gave us a chance to learn more about the life of local people.
