2009.11.11 Crazy trip to Cayo Jutias

Upon our agreement with two German backpackers we took a taxi to visit Cayo Jutias island 60 km from Vinales to enjoy the beach in Gulf of Mexico.
In a few points the whole day was like this:
  • Our companions first decided not to go, when they saw cloudy sky. Soon they changed their mind.
  • Our car was really old, so while going up the hill I was not sure if it would manage it. And while going down the hill the driver was totally turning off the motor and as soon as it went down, the driver turned the motor on.
  • Our driver brought us to the place in front of Cayo Jutias where as he said, it has the same water. Soon we found out colonies of small crabs, already half-erosed parts of some ships, forgotten and no more populated coastal shore with a ruined building, tricky watter full of small unknown microorganizmas, a tiny sandy place surrounded by thornies, and more colonies of small crabs. We decided not to stay there at all.
  • After an hour of looking for some vehicle going to the island, we decided to visit a Cuban family to have a cup of coffee and wait two more hours for our driver to come and pick up us.
  • Luckily exactly the same time our driver showed up and happily we drove to Cayo Jutias.
  • We have already spent two hours enjoying normal beach, wheb huge amounts of grey clouds came and we decided to go back to Vinales before ot starts to rain.
  • As we went forward everything began to disappear in the fog and only high palm trees were rising up this grey mass. Dark rain clouds have already been reaching us while we were leaving the island. Soon it started to rain cats and dogs as much as we were moving forward.
  • Suddenly our old Russian car died in the middle of storm. Our driver tried to start the car with no success. After a while finally the motor was started and we continued our road. Our happiness did not last too much, in next few minutes the car died again and this time it was seriuos. The driver got totally wet in the rain while trying to fix the car.
  • Half an hour later, when we already began to feel unhelpless, the car started and we slowly took our road to Vinales.
