Slight delay

So, as the lonely planet states, Camaguey is the kind of town that disrupts your travel plans and so it did with me! Was only meant to be staying for one night to break up a hellish 12hour bus journey, but have ended up staying until, well, tommorrow!

Its a really cute town with some beautiful plazas but most importantly, it is seriously hustle free which makes it a v relaxing place to be. Have also been really lucky as have made some great friends with some tourists who are also staying here for a bit and a group of cubans who are all really good fun. Its nice to stay in one place and not have to keep moving as I learning loads about cuba, but more importantly i am having a whole lot of fun...and causing a whole lot of hilarity amongst my cuban girlfriends here with their attempts to teach me how to dance "cuban". They just will not give up despite my protestations that at the age of 27 I am just not able to dance like a hooker (and to be quite honest, dont really want to learn!) but hey...

The highlight here though has been one of the guys had a birthday party on Tuesday to which we were all invited and it was so mad. He lives on the top floor of this house with a little balcony so he had a hired massive sound system up there and the lucky few (ie us guests!) were up there with him whilst the rest of the neighbourhood within a 3mile radius got to enjoy the music! Was really fun watching everyone dancing in the street and generally being part of a neighbours-type party. Then for the piece de resistnace, a whole roast pig (cooked in the bakery no less!) was brought out and devoured by all....a crazy night!

But despite all this fun, have decided it really is time to leave camaguey tomorrow and face the 7 hour journey to santiago (urgh) for some live music. The only down side of camaguey is that there is one club with dreadful music!
