Unbelievable we met Biedermannsdorfer here! That's just... "wow"...
They told me they are here for about 5 weeks and the weather is crappy since 2 weeks. They also said that the weather now is very unusual for the Caribbean - rainy, cloudy and very windy (reminds me of Australia, Mission Beach...).
However, we've made some interesting and much more positive experiences! ;)
We have been to the Che Monument at Santa Clara which is a really impressive and beautiful place to visit. You can also come to see the Che Mausoleum and the Che Museum with interesting facts about Ernesto Guevaras life.
Our tour guide told us that the majority of the people in Cuba do not earn more than 350 CUP (Pesos Cubanos; 24 CUP = 1 CUC). That's the reason why all the people who get in contact with tourists are very dependent to tips. They would surely have no problem "surviving" without tips since they get subvention for enough food and free medical care (compare that to the US system). Anyway there are a lot of other products like shoes, washing machines or furniture that are very expensive and almost not affordable without external help.
Yesterday we discovered a very nice beach outside the hotel and much better than the hotels beach :) It is kind of "geology experience playground" - my father will be jealous. We found a lot of corals, shells and other sea stuff in every stage from alive to fossil.
Okay, since stupid PicasaWeb says "FORBIDDEN blabla" I'm unable to upload photos :( I will hand them in as soon as I get home (which is Saturday at about 9 pm).
Have fun until then, und vermehret euch zahlreich! ;)
