How hard is to make bread?
The millenary food has become a scarce product in Cuba lately. Due to the horrible financial situation the country is facing , importing goods and food has become almost impossible. This time, the lack of flour is making Cubans rage, and innovate!From pumpkin flour to yuca roots powder, Cubans can’t seem to achieve the 4-ingredient equivalent of bread without whole wheat flour. Sad reality is that many families relied on the government food allowance that is becoming ever so minuscule, and now bread is out. The picture below is actually how the bread given by the government looked . Of course , resorts have great bread and some private bakeries can provide acceptable quality bread when they can find flour. Like other commodities, accessing bread will have to be a well planned and important activity.
Run and enjoy a toast now that you can !!!! LOL

Well guys, Team USA destroyed team
Cuba in the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic championship. Besides the USA’s outstanding batting,constant protests in the stadium chanting freedom for Cuba and 3 people jumped into the field (not together) with signs against the dictatorship were some factors in the game to be noted.

Some tips that will help you get by while vacationing Cuba right now. (share with your friends).
1- Bring US dollars . Other currencies are accepted but the rate will be much lower.
2- Bring 1 dollar bills if you plan to tip the resort servers.
3- If you like to treat yourself with chocolates, candy etc, make sure you bring your own from your country. You won’t find those easily in Cuba.
4- Stay at a resort. Right now is better to stay in an all-inclusive resort. Blackouts, bad transportation, lack of food make staying at a b&b much more difficult and less enjoyable.
5- If you like helping others and have stuff that you want to give away or simply get rid off, contact us for our tour to the neighborhoods where you can enjoy different locations while helping other by giving presents.
6- Bring your mosquito spray.

Last update : Ian hurricane.
2 casualties and over 300 families directly affected .
Some to***co plantations ruined and a lot to fix now.
On another note , almost the entire country spend 2 days with no power.Even areas in which it only got cloudy are now suffering long black outs . Which makes me think : Is the government taking advantage of the situation to abuse the blackout strategy in order to save fuel?
I leave you a very popular satellite image of Cuba at night the day after the hurricane which have been use in many memes and articles showing how serious black outs get to be on the island.
Varadero and other popular tourists destinations are being powered by local fuel generators.
