I wasn't "smuggling", as I said I don;t like the idea of being somewhere I can't have a reliable and instant PERSONAL supply of know quality hash/weed, and a stim. I took about 20 pills to cuba too, and a load of bubble hash and whizz. It was my honeymoon too.
Cuba was great, I've got a load of photos on an old hard drive, we spent a couple of days in Havana, amzing city, great music and people, then we went down to Cienfuegos, near Trinidad...a hurricane set in so we holed up in the hotel we were staying for a couple of days, proper curfew announced, windows all boarded up in preparation, we were fucking glad of a good supply of drugs then (see why I took some drugs with me
), Cienfuegos was very Cuban, we took a day trip to Trinidad, which is much more of a tourist resort...but we're glad we stayed in Cienfuegos....
We got a bus to Vinales, not a big town, but right in the centre of the island, really just a tourist stop off but some great jungley type landscapes, real nice hills/mountains, tobacco plantations.....
Rented a car and drove right across to the west coast to a beach place caled Maria del Gorda, at the time there was just a small hotel there, nothing else, was really just for divers and anglers, a lot of French people there, good food there too..did a fair bit of snorkelling, beautiful sandy beach, deserted, shallow warm blue sea...amazing...think we spent about a week chilling there, then went back to Havana for last 3-4 nights, saw some music, did lots of dancing, and finished off any remaining drugs....
Was in 2004 and my memory is quite hazy...Casa particulares are best for eating, cuban "restaurants" are fuckin rank on the whole, one night we were served rice and peas that tasted of mildew, cue 2 days of violent diarroeah (great on yer honeymoon!), the hotel in Vinales would serve leftovers from the evening meal for breakfast (we didn't eat there in the evnings)..in fact even immediate post-communism Poland had far better food, far far better...
a lot of hustlers around shouting "hey you know Buena vista social Club, you wanna see Buena Vista Social club"..I'd never seen that film, and since that trip I don't ever want to, I was sick of fucking hearing about it....
Driving is mental, 6 lane motorways made of mud, with no lane markings, and horse and carts, lorrries, people pushing rickshaws, mafia style limos all in any lane they fancy, hitchhikers everywhere, we picked one lad up who was fine, but got us to drop him off in the middle of some town and we couldn't find our way out....signposts are shit or non existant, but there are people at any junction whose "job" seems to be to tell people directions. We picked up another couple of hitchers in driving rain, within 5 mins it was obvious they'd been waiting for a rental car as they spent the whole time trying to convince us to visit a tobacco factory with them....
Fucking brilliant place, specially Havana, dilapidated beauty..we spent quite a lot of money there, but it was our honeymoon, so we stayed in 5 star hotels where we could (didn't go to any of those fucking massive beach resorts), ate the best we could find, drank what we wanted where we wanted etc...
I might one day transfer the photos from me old hard drive, fuck knows when though...
tl, dr I know, but you did ask Spade...
No, no I can't.
EDIT>>>>and plenty of prostitution, specially at night in Havana, we were constantly being asked if we wanted a girl, they're everywhere
