Day 2 – Cuba
 |
| We had a good night rest at our resort from our long travel to Cuba |
After breakfast we had a debriefing session with our travel agency’s representative who gave us information about what we needed to know and some itinerary for this trip.
We booked a few excursions on this trip with our representative.
 |
| The resort we are staying is a beautiful place! |
We went around to explore the resort.
It is a beautiful place!
A couple of fellow guests at the resort told us that this resort hotel is one of the most beautiful ones in Cuba.

| A favourtie activity during our Cuban vacation - being on the beach! |
We took a stroll and enjoyed the sandy beach of Cuba.
While strolling on the sandy beach, we came across three tourists from France who were playing a beach game with coconuts here.
 |
| A French beach game modified and played on a Cuban beach |
I asked them about the game and they explained patiently to me that this game was called petanque, played often in southern France around the French Rivera area.
Petanque is a game similar to lawn bowling, the current form of the game originated in 1907 or 1910 in Provence, France. It is usually played with six metal balls with 2 -3 players.
 |
| Petanque is played with 6 metal balls but the French players used 6 coconuts here |
Instead of using metal balls to play this game on the Cuban beach, these French guests modified the game and used 6 coconuts in its place.
How creative!
 |
| Interesting fruit we saw in Cuba |
We also discovered other activities and lessons offered at this resort.
We took part in these activities on our first day here and met a few couples at the resort.

| I love walking on the smooth sand on a Cuban beach! |
In the evening, there was entertainment and we enjoyed the singing and dancing after dinner.
We looked forward to our vacation in Cuba for the next little while!
