I first woke up to the almost forgotten sound of a cock crowing and a little later to the sounds of horses being led close by. When I opened the curtains the views of the mountains and the valley were breathtaking.
All that had been available when I booked had been a junior suite and I seemed to have landed the best room in the house or rather the best room leading away from the house. It was simple and clean with huge bed and a sofa and a TV (le cláir Sínis éagsúla ó thosaigh tionscnamh roinnt cultúrtha idir an dá thír i 2008) agus bhí an buntáiste iontach a bheith ar an ceann deireanach i ndiaidh a chéile de seallaí beag, an faide as an bhfoirgneamh óstán is mó. I os comhair mo veranda, decked leis an dá cathaoireacha rocking éigeantach Lawn coinnithe go maith sloped síos go dtí na crainn a dtiocfaidh an ghleann.
Nuair a chuaigh mé sa deireadh suas don bhricfeasta ní raibh aon chomhartha den aon aíonna eile san óstán a bhí ceaptha go a bheith iomlán. Fuair mé amach níos déanaí go raibh grúpa Laethanta Saoire Saga agus an tíre d'aois a bhí gotten suas i bhfad níos luaithe chun dul ar cheann de na turais. Ba é an seomra bia Mostly os cionn an stocaireacht folamh ar leith ó bhaill foirne cúpla wandering isteach agus amach agus éin bídeach swooping i do blúiríní fágtha ar na táblaí neamhghlanta. Gach timpeall oscail doirse ar balconies agus tuairimí lánléargais thar. Ba Bricfeasta ag an Óstán iontach bándearg Jazmines Los fíneáil, guava chopped agus papaya agus na torthaí céanna a juiced chomh maith le rogha de dhaoine eile, cáis arán, trátaí agus sailéid agus cácaí. Bhí cócaire ag lorg leamh seasamh ag stáisiún omelette agus miasa te éagsúla do carnabhóirí. (Focal an rabhadh do veigeatóirí, go léir na miasa Bean a chonaic mé ag bricfeasta i gCúba Bhí éigin de feola iontu).
Tar éis bricfeasta chuaigh mé suas go dtí an linn snámha bharr cnoic-suite go síochánta a bhí don chuid is mó den am ar leith ó, mar a raibh mé forewarned Comhairleoir Turas, stopann an stiall chóiste rialta nuair a bheadh turasóirí descend an cheantair chun grianghraif de na radharcanna iontacha a thógáil agus deoch coladas pina nó mojitos ó na barra a flanked sé. Uaireanta annoying, na cuairteoirí noisy swooping i cosúil leis an gealbhain ag bricfeasta a bheadh ar fáil ó am go chéile ar seachrán suimiúil.
Amazing photo of the pink hotel and swimming pool. It looks gorgeous and tempting, definitely a place you want to linger … probably on those rocking chairs on the veranda 🙂 Interesting about the Chinese TV programmes and I liked the comparison of the tourists with the sparrows. But I want to know about the acrobats by the pool !!!
In 2008 Raoul Castro began lifting what he called ‘excessive prohibitions’ on censorship. China and Cuba have very strong trade relations and if lifting censorship means showing programs from a communist country then there is less chance of socialists being corrupted by capitalist propaganda! Conversely on cable TV in the bar one night they were showing Green Zone (a US film with Matt Damon).
The acrobats appeared by the pool one morning after breakfast. At first I was the only other person there and then a few more people wandered in. He was Cuban and his adoring parents were also there, she was Eastern European. They practised their moves for some time as the parents (and I) took photos. They stopped when her bikini top slipped! Then they all sat down for lunch and cervezas, even acrobats drink beer.
I lingered for four days, it was very relaxing.
The photographs are fabulous, wonderful vista. Tempting me to visit
I think you would love it!
Thank you SO MUCH. We get chickens every year at the local SPCA, and I plan to? adopt a clpuoe of them in a year or two, but until then, I don’t want to use eggs in my baking. Those tips will be very useful to me, and it will be a pleasure for me to show my family how delicious and satisfying vegan baking can be.
