Cuba 2017 - Part Four

22 Nov 17
0700 hrs.

     I stalked down to the beach to secure our loungers at our desired beach hut. Unfortunately, the Serbs had beaten me to it and the majority of the better spots. Not to worry, where ever it may be, our spot will be the best spot!

     After breakfast my Lobster and I made our way down to the beach where the day was spent swimming, reading, napping and sipping. A person could really get used to this as a lifestyle.

17:00 hrs

     Back in our room it was time for a shower and get ready for dinner. Tonight we were opting for the International Gourmet restaurant.

     Well Kidlettes, there were not one but two bread courses as the appies and mains were slow coming our of the kitchen. They tasted fine. Nothing to write home about. And the dessert? Another disappointment. How in the hell can you screw up a cheese cake? There was no cream cheese and whatever was in there was unrecognizable as cream cheese in a cheese cake sitting in the obligatory leprechaun shit sauce again. On top of all of the menu misidentification the front of the house service was pathetic. Grumpy staff and a lot of inattention to the basics. That's it! No presents for you! And we won't be back!

     Afterwards, we wandered into the Cafe where we enjoyed our nightly coffee and tea. Here the staff are really nice. We choose to sit outside as the flat screen TV  is cranked up with Latin music videos. How can someone sit and enjoy a relaxing coffee with that screaming? Sitting outside, we spotted a couple of small Cuban lizards on the ceiling above us. People walked past oblivious of test little reptiles hanging just a few feet above their heads. It would be all too funny if one of them lost their grip and dropped on the head of some unsuspecting passerby.
