I cover the few remaining kilometers before arriving in Varadero. You can see the oil exploitation very close to the ocean.
Unfortunately, she's not here. I leave a surprise Christmas card on her door...
I find myself a room at Amhet's. It's small, but it's perfect. The sun is out, I'm going to the beach. I have to take some time for myself. It's my first real beach day in two weeks. The water is very pleasant, the waves very strong. It's very windy.
The sun is warm, it feels good! I know it's cold in Quebec, I'm taking advantage of it!
I give Amhet some bike stuff: front and rear light, bell, blue bag to put cell phone and a Fast123 sweater
He is very friendly, he takes me to have a beer and eat fries in the neighborhood, it is very generous of him. On the way back, I give him my mask so that he can give it to his son. Amhet works hard in the tourism industry, he has to recruit clients to take them diving. According to him, he is not rich, but in my opinion he is not poor. However, he tells me that he puts a lot of energy into his work and it brings him money. He owns a shiny luxury sports bike.
