Estonia's largest newspaper, Postimees, published my fourth story about Cuba.
It is mainly about transport. An excerpt from the article, quoting myself:
"I recall a story from 2018. I was in Vinales, the land of to***co, and in the morning, I was picked up by a yellow vintage car that was about 80 years old. I settled into the front passenger seat, hoping no one else would join. No such luck! Eventually, there were nine of us in the car, packed into three rows of seats.
A younger, dark-skinned woman ended up next to me. We all jolted along at about 100 km/h towards Havana, aiming to meet another taxi at a agreed time on the edge of the city, because a single taxi doesn't drive very long distances. It’s 180 km from Vinales to Havana, but some people wanted to travel further to Trinidad de Cuba, which is 330 km from Havana in the opposite direction. In such cases, you switch to another vehicle near the city.
The young lady with Afro-textured hair drifted into a light sleep beside me; you could tell she had partied hard the night before. Her hair poked at me through my clothes, but being a gentleman, I offered her my shoulder and kept directing the outside breeze our way through the car's vent window."
