They're taking photos
We finally figured out that the people that live there were taking photos of the ship as it left! I took a video, click HERE. to see a video we took of part of it.
Mystery noise
As we passed a part of the island where people live, we heard a lot of yelling and whistles. We also saw a lot of flashes of light.
Pretty sky!
We started to leave Cienfuegos and when the ship turned, the sky was so pretty!
Selfie while waiting
We got back to the tender at the last minute. Of course there were hundreds of people there. We had to wait a long time for the tenders to come get us.
One more
Our tour guide was so nice. He answered every question anyone had about living in Cuba and he told us that our ship had been on the news the night before. We didn't know this was Holland's inaugural cruise to Cuba! He told us he was so nervous to giv our tour he almost cancelled!
Downtown
I shot a few pics while we drove through.
Radio station
This looked like an awesome house with a HUGE Cuban flag blowing in the wind. Our guide said it's now a radio station.
Dance!
Their last number was a dance, kind of conga line, including masks.
Concert venue
Our last stop on the tour was a flute concert. This was their outdoor venue.
Our Cuba "boarding passes"
They gave us these old airline boarding passes when we went through immigration to get in to Cienfuegos. We had to return them to immigration to leave.
Hotel Jagua
The tour included lunch. It was at the Hotel Jagua.
Yacht Club
Our guide said this used to be known as "Jack's Club." A lot of the older people on the bus said, "Oooh!" but we didn't figure out what that was. I'm assuming JFK?
Fabulous!
I LOVED the houses.
