Cuba Longboard Diary 15 Dec 2014

15 Dec 2014
Trinidad to Cienfuegos
Distance: 85km
"Che had his motorcycle diary
Johnny Depp had his Rum diary
I have my Longboard Guarapo Diary"
Started with a downhill, only to realise i went the wrong way, it was the way back to Sancti. Backtracked uphill and energy wasted. Just after Trinidad, entered with a view to the caribean Sea. Best View in this skate ever. Make the detour and uphill climb so worthwhile so far. Skate 20km of sea view until entering the mountains, which more hill climbs. Stop halfway for Bananas (1 CUC) and in search of Guarapo (Sugarcane Juice). Last 15km got stopped by police sitting in their car. Since they have nothing to do today. They decided to escort me in my longboard along the way to cienfuegos. So cool! First time ever got a police escorting me. That is why i said Cuban police are the best! Either they are bored or they find me skating interesting.
Arrived at Casa, then skate arouind Cienfuegos and its bay for the best sunset. It remind me a lot like San Fransciso, with steep roads leading to the sea. Got invited by my casa family for dinner. My first ever dinner with a local cuban family. We had spaghetti and Mahaga (cant recall its name).
