Che Guevara day in Santa Clara (Cuba)
In Santa Clara we had Che day,a whole day devoted to the poster boy of the Cuban revolution Ernesto Che Guevara. We walked out to visit the moment, mausoleum and museum to El Che and of course the legendary (in Cuba certainly) train which Che and 18 men overcame on the 29th Dec 1959 despite the fact it contained 350 heavily armed Batista troops! We also came across a wonderful wall of Cuban political comic strips, all very anti-American in sentiment and very interesting. A Colombian friend we’d met on the bus turned up in a restaurant that evening which somehow led to Kristy and I going out clubbing in an old ruined house to Cotton-Eye Joe and Gangsta’s Paradise with an entertaining group of Cuban students. It’s always the most random nights that are the best!
