From Relaxing in Cuba to Coming Home to the Cold
The rest of our time in Cuba passed quickly and restfully. One Wednesday, after our late night, we didn’t get up and moving until after 11am. We headed to see Miguel and book ourselves into the Spa for the next afternoon. He told us how the spa worked. There would be a ride at 1:45 for us in the hotel lobby the next day.

Sun, Sea, and Catamaran
Today we were both up before the 7:00am alarm. This is because a duck under our window would not shut up at all. It kept honking and honking. I got up to yell at it to shut up and I see three more ducks round the corner of the building coming towards the lonely duck. He then shut up, so I guess he was calling his friends. I went to go get back in bed but the alarm went off right after I got back in. Instead of sleeping some more we got up and packed a bag for the day with water, towels, sunscreen, and a little bit of…

Tale of Two Cities: Ciego de Avila and Moron
Our bus for the two city tour was leaving at 8:10am. We set the alarm to go off at 7am. This would give us time to go and have breakfast and gather our things before we had to be on the bus. At breakfast I used the crêpe station. With cinnamon, sugar and fresh fruit it was a very filling breakfast.

Sunday: Day 1
I woke up around 7:30 local time. Amber was not ready to get up so I typed out the beginning of our travel adventure while she slept for another hour. Around 8:30 we began to get up and find the breakfast buffet. We were pleasantly surprised by the room. It’s large and has a great amount of space around the food stations so you don’t feel crowded or like you will be bumped by others who are passing by.

Travelling just to Travel: Getting to Cuba
I forgot how long it really takes to get off the island I live on. On Friday I left work at 10:45, early thanks to my principal letting me go. I followed what had to be the slowest drivers that live in my area, all doing about 80km/h in a 100km/h area. I passed each one as I had a chance until I picked up Amber on the highway at Port McNeil. No time to even go into McNeil, no we were determined to reach Duke Point Ferry for the 3:15 sailing, rather than wait for the 5:45 sailing.

Rafting
I was up early to get ready for a trip I had signed up for. The hostel had lots of different trips and tours you could sign up for. I decided that I would spend the day rafting. We met in the lobby at 7am. Myself and two others from the hostel went. Along the way the driver stopped at a few vantage points for us to stop and take pictures. We drove for about two hours through the country side. We arrived at the meeting site and restaurant. We stopped to have breakfast.

Kayaking in Kotor
I woke up in the morning still in pain, mad at people and mad at Budva. My knee had swollen up and bit more and was all sorts of ugly. I had lots of other unpleasant scrapes and bruises. I decided to to get on the bus and move on to Kotor. I looked up the buses online and they were frequent so I went into town to find the Ballerina statue. It’s a nice place for a photo but there is not to much around it. This went down to check out. I asked about a Taxi to the bus station because it was quite the walk and I…

Budva – Beaches and Biking
The daily prompt today is clumsy which is perfect because I had a major klutz attack on my next day of travel. I had a late start this morning. I woke up and went up to the kitchen to make breakfast and figure out my plan for the day. By coming down to Ulcinj I had changed my timeline and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Part of me wanted to stay and relax and part of me wanted to move on the the next town and try to get back on track. I talked to the others in the kitchen and learned that many of them were…
