Sadly our journey is nearly at an end. But not before we catch the bus to Santa Clara and are taken by taxi to another case which was recommended by our last hostess. The place we were supposed to go to was apparently full so we ended up else where. But it’s quite alright. We spend our last day walking to the memorial of Che Guevara and where he and other revolutionaries are buried. It’s probably the most important place in the whole of Cuba for those that fought and died here. We also visited he train museum which was overtaken by 19 guerillas in 90 minutes. Inside the train were at least 400 unsuspecting troops when it was blown off the tracks. We later find out that our host was a part of this piece of history, although he doesn’t like to talk about it. He was a 15 year old boy at the time. He has since written 3 books on the subject.
