Varedero town

We caught a horse buggy into town, there are lots of these. Fuel is expensive and on the basic wage of $15 per month, paid by the state, the locals cant afford it. Some earn a little more but not much. On top of this there is a food package which differs from one region to another. Its just basics of rice, eggs and sugar.
The lady with Goltz and Santi is Debbie who helped us alot. She took us to where the locals buy food in their currency which was very cheap for us. I paid $1 for 10 eggs. She had to buy the eggs and potatoes for us on the black market as there were none to be had in the shops. There is no selection in the shops and very little of anything. Clothing is also very limited, nothing fancy at all.

Rob is chatting to the owner of the 1958 Chev. All the old cars have Lada or other diesel engines as there are no parts for the American ones, and Diesel is cheaper.
