HI mate i see you are going to Cuba soon for a holiday,just back on the 1/6/18 it wasn't all that it was made out to be,the beaches wernt as white and sandy as where made out to be,i found it expensive for tourists as they have 2 currencies one for the Cubans and 1 for the tourists they are called locals it is called the Peso and for tourists it is called the CUC,TAXIS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE A 4 KM TAXI COST A CUBAN LOCAL 25 Pesos but the same journey costs a tourist 15 CUC which is equivalent to 1500 Pesos,we stayed at the Melia Varadero hotel 5 star but at best it was 3 or 4 star the food was good though went to buy a can of coca cola and there was a local Cuban in front of me he was charged 12.5 Pesos whereas i was charged 0.80 Pesos the Cuban folk are very nice but very very poor the average wage is 0.80 pence per day = 20 CUC per month,hope you have a great holiday mate cheers.Toatie.
