My Trip to Cuba
Tourism is having a great effect. It offers a look at other worlds. I decided to go to
Cuba because I’m working on a book about the Caribbean. I have already been to 23 islands
in the region but not to Cuba, the biggest of them all. I got a ticket on a flight with Cubana,
the national airline. In fact, my Cubana flight was excellent.
I had an ambition to meet as many Cubans as possible. For a foreigner speaking English, it is not easy at all. By absolute chance, I landed in Havana in the middle of the International Beatles Conference. Cubans are passionate about The Beatles and it was their third conference on the subject. The conference was partly sponsored by British Embassy, so I agreed
to give a little talk. In this way I met some Beatles fans who live in Cuba, and they invited me
to visit their homes. I was shocked to realize that they are still living on food rations - for example, each person gets only six eggs a month.
But the food in my hotel was very good. I was staying in the Havana Libre, the former
Hilton Hotel, an enormous building with a very good manager. When I was swimming in the
pool, I met a young American. It was a big surprise because the USA is still blockading Cuba
and it discourages its citizens from visiting the island. So there are not many Americans in
Cuba, but you can see something else which is very American: old cars from the 1950s, big
limos which we normally see today only in old films. They are very well kept
by their owners. There are also many collectors in Cuba who keep such cars for their value for
money.
In connection with collections and museums, I visited two ol them. First I went to the
Museum of the Revolution. It has enormous marble corridors and is filled with the things you
find in most museums. The only difference is that instead of Royal jewels they show Che
Guevara’s black beret and Fidel Castro’s trousers.
The other museum I visited in Havana was in the Hotel Ambos Mundos. You just
walk into the building, take the lift up and find yourself in room 511 where Ernest Hemingway used to live when he was writing For Whom the Bell Tolls. Inside the room there is still
his old typewriter.
I then moved for a few days to the main holiday resort, Viradero, which is basically
one enormous white beach. But I didn’t like it. If you want to go to Cuba, it’s better to spend
more time in Havana where you can get the feel of the real Cuba.
