It was already on Cuba for 3 times with her husband in different cities - Havana, Olgin and Guantanamo. We really love to travel. Havana is more calm, tourist city, but Guantanamo is just frantic anomaly. Very interesting city. There is a naval base of the United States, which contains the most sewing terrorists of the world. That is how it is. The city in fact received its news at the expense of the American military forces located here and already on this background began to build their travel business. And so simply to the city you will not get, you will have to travel either through the United States, or through Jamaica. We drove out of the USA, I really wanted to see this city. And did not regret.
