At six, we packed down and headed for the local café for a strong, sweet coffee, before touring around the town. Spent the morning with Eliesor, had lunch of swordfish/fried banana, then started the next stage in the heat of the day at 1p.m. The road improved, but several sections had been washed away and a few large bridges had collapsed. There was almost no motorised traffic all day, just a couple of motorbikes and one car. The mountain scenery that bordered the coastal road was spectacular at every point. The area is famous as being where Fidel, Raul and Ernesto landed to start the revolution of which the locals are immensely proud. As the sun was setting we found a beautiful beach setting for our campsite and sat supping more rum as a few locals finished their day hand-line fishing from the shore. The last two days have really shown the beauty of rural Cuba.
