Nino Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 We left Havana early morning, but not before the Australian team stocked up on enough wine to keep us supplied for a week. The drive was long, it took us almost 4 hrs with just a break for beer before reaching Pinar del Rio and then from there a long and winding beautiful mountain road past the mining region of Minas de Matahambre to reach the Gulf of Mexico and the small, isolated Key of Cayo Jutias. The long ride was soon forgotten as we were welcomed with freshly prepared Mojitos by Jiromis, Noel and their wives, busy preparing the beach bbq which was to be a feast of lobster, snappers, rabbit and salads. This trip was again arranged and organized by our friend and Cuban resident Toby Brocklehurst of Incloud9 who came along. It was a relaxed, insightful, funny and cigar filled afternoon on the beach where all of us got to know each other and had the time to talk. The two Rob's went out fly-fishing while the other Rob and I walked the beach with Jose, Mojito and cigar in hand. A great day full of camaraderie and fun. We left for Vinales before it got dark and continued the party there.

El Presidente Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Perhaps the best day of the trip The relaxed nature. The magnificent food The great drinks The sharing of superb time with friends. Seeing the smile on Ingids face when she went on a boat for the first time (not easy for a cuban). Watching Rob (Freefallguy) plunge into the abyss when fly fishing. Talking with Nino in an environment of no pretention, no Habanos sa, just good mates, doing little and doing it large. Welcome to the Cuba I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This day resulted in one of the better hangovers I had in Cuba. I found a real liking for homemade Mojitos!! Yeremi was a great dude and one of the people I look forward to seeing again when I go back Thanks for a great day, guys. (and thanks, Nino for your essay and pics!)
