Our two day trips out of Havana. Vinales was the inland area which has buttes that rise up but covered with jungle.
We visited a cave where you could take a boat through it and out the other side, and climbed up to a viewpoint and saw a giant mural, and went to a waterfall on the way home. It was beautiful, jungle green, and the air was fresh. I felt better just getting out of the heat and dust of the city (dreams of revolution post is really my first) and seeing the mountains rise up in the distance. The hitchhikers still line the roads but they hold up money now.
Second day trip the next week was to Varadero, the most famous beach. The water was Pacific level quality, that incredible turquoise and indigo which melds magically into each other. We swam to a cliff which had tiny sandy coves and then hung out in them, swimming at intervals and looking out at the water. I got to swim three times, almost enough, no surf or current and perfect weather.
