Journey Across Forgotten Cuba 🇨🇺

foreign here in the center of Cuba and we're leaving again because today we are gonna head off on a journey to Santi spiritu whatever the hell is called a little town in the interior part of Cuba we got ourselves a lovely Red Bull here which is almost impossible to find but luckily they had one at the hotel so I bought two and we're going to be doing this trip in true hippie Backpacker fashion which I hate so now we have to find a way to get out of the city and uh yeah and to get to Santi Espirito whatever the hell it's called so I don't know if we need to go down here or where but it is basically impossible to travel here in Cuba because there is no petrol and the buses don't work terminal hey all right yeah yeah here [Music] man check out the street it's beautiful um Cuba has so much potential with all the history and the Beautiful architecture and the city centers Such a Pity um so as I was saying there was no petrol so that means there was no transport in and out of the Cities they're all buses but it's like once in a while we're going to the bus station now easy yes but I doubt it's going to be that easy yesterday just kidding from whole game to come away was uh was a mission check it out the beautiful streets have come away what are you from Africa in Colombia [Music] um no no no this is foreign foreign happy birthday all right I found ourselves a Basia very interesting looking bus [ __ ] this [ __ ] I [ __ ] hate backpacking getting way too old for this so at least we got a bus and this bus is going to take me to the entrance I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there so I still have to find another way to get to something okay this I got really cool man so we're still waiting for the bus to fill up we're ready for like 20 minutes they won't leave unless the bus is full so in the meantime we're going to get a bottle of water or something check it out thank you I'm still waiting an hour later all the hustlers yeah those guys over there try to charge me 107 to get where I'm going to reel yeah they're taking advantage of people during these tough times I don't like it [ __ ] off finally after like an hour waiting and the driver is going to drop me off just outside of something spiritual because this bus isn't going there it's going to avoid so we're gonna have to find our town we're gonna get to our destination which is going to be another adventure so let's go vamos my seat just fell off [ __ ] me [Music] all this open land that is not being used for farming or anything like that what a shame thank you and it's been put in used used bottles hopefully the water is good oh man what the hell is that [ __ ] me [ __ ] floating at the bottom it's closed am I gonna be blowing up the toilet later on [ __ ] me pineapple [Applause] you miss it all right Jesus we have made it to a town called el Maha this is my stop they're gonna go Direction Havana and I have to find my way to Santi Espiritu there goes my bus to Havana let's see if we can get something to eat over here with us hi come here [Music] [Music] Avenue Cola [Applause] all right guys we found ourselves a nice little restaurant here which is actually a surprise um I was expecting just [ __ ] sandwiches I've headed up to here with sandwiches if I see another sandwich I'm gonna [ __ ] lose my mind anyways um waited we're gonna soon find out and then seeming as we are in the one of the tobacco areas of Cuba we are gonna go and find some cigars because I have but quite the liking for cigars ever since my first trip to Cuba so hopefully along the way too spirity [Applause] we're gonna run into a few tobacco plantations smoke some up we got our comida here typical Cuban food it's like a piece of pork rice patagones which I like very much man I'm starving Perfecto gracias foreign s come from because most of it is imported this is from let's check Spain so for all you Spanish viewers do you get this in Spain I don't remember seeing this but uh yeah let's crack it open let's give it a go Spanish Coca-Cola freeze it let's give this fool a go let's try to rise rice and beans and Venezuela that's good wow that's really good pork though oh man that's good as well tastes like bacon fried man this was a good option thank God it's not a damn sandwich [Music] finished our meal check it out here in Cuba Soviets very scarce so whenever you go to a restaurant it's unlikely that there's going to be Soviets on the table so they gave me this one to wipe my face this was a very good meal this is a good Coca-Cola and now we've got a bus station I think I know what this is I think this is I think you get this in in America yeah that's good it's like um dulce de leche with egg I think very sweet and soft just how I like it alright guys so that is where we're supposed to go 19 kilometers away Santi espiritus but before we go there we're gonna buy some tobacco is de tobacco Direction all right I think we got some transports generally okay guys we've got some transports to get to santu Santi Espiritu let's go finally after waiting about an hour at the stop somebody finally stopped for us to take us [ __ ] you know how are we gonna climb this with our bag and filming at the same time behind you something you know that was a long wait a Mario Revolution farmland Cuba goodness thank you so strong up there so can you can you imagine this is how locals travel every day is the transport is so [ __ ] here in Cuba so a petrol is nothing so this is how people have to get back from school from work go to other little towns to visit their family whatever if they're sick if they need a hospital man it is awesome I mean we were waiting there at that bus station for about an hour what's up and you believe it's you guys cry about taking the train for 30 minutes to go to work foreign military personnel over there all right we have made it how the hell coming up was the easy part getting down here's another story okay we made it to Santi spiritus Deus meal I think it's time for us to golf let's go look for a tobacco Plantation when it started this yeah okay one oh my God this guy's got no arms I'm not going to let him drive me [Music] um foreign [Music] cheers Bueno Nevada huh dude solo okay see it is all right we found a hotel over here and we'll see what we can do maybe we'll carry on I don't know but this place is Wi-Fi and food all right guys we made it to a hotel check it out first things first check out this antique air conditioner amazing this whole hotel is antique Chandelier look at the roofs look at the detail man see what type of view we have not much not much but uh yeah check out the bathroom this just cost me twenty dollars can you believe it per night not a bad price and it's got internet and breakfast included in the morning breakfast is included for twenty dollars this is like a National Hotel that's why because that's that's why it's much cheaper than the private owned hotels check it out the bathroom is very nice and then let's do a quick tour of outside quick beautiful all antique [Music] classic if you're in Cuba there's a rule within the historical centers they are not allowed to change or modify anything on the buildings they can only keep it in shape so for example I don't know the doors they cannot even change the doors for newer ones they have to just maintain it so they're only allowed to maintain it but they cannot change anything so all of this is still original from I don't know how long ago 100 years ago 200 years ago but they are not allowed to change it rip it down and build new buildings I kind of like that so we are going to rest [Music] we're gonna have a shower that was a long day even though it shouldn't have been but thanks to Cuban Cuba we made it like six hours later it is a beautiful Sunday afternoon we just left the hotel and I think while the sun is still shining we should go and see what we can do here check it out the town of Santi Espiritu beautiful it's the oldest city in interior Cuba see if we can get down here is wow check it out guys we found a lovely gentleman over here with the angolan Communist party hat back in the days when uh Philadelphia that was the same the same guys that we fought at the border amazing you know what um it's so proudly communist yeah it's insane you know what this afternoon good old shot Buenas you can wear we can take a shot of rump that is the goal for today how has it been so long and we haven't had any rum yet we'll find something here for sure Korea [Music] okay all right so because we're gonna couldn't get a shot there we got ourselves a Crystal instead let's crack it open it's actually better it's a hot afternoon and I am dehydrated and this is the perfect thing to re-hydrate with buck water salud there's a horse down there look at that two horses I wonder if we can buy some cigars around here let's see just one for now would be good wow man it's like Verona in Italy oh Venice [Applause] I think we found the Venice of Cuba kind of almost foreign okay I don't think we're gonna find much here but we're gonna go and check it out like always maybe something happens maybe something does it who knows you'll never predict the future with filming these videos you never know what trouble you might get yourself into or maybe nothing happens and you just walk around and go home and don't upload the video let's go this way [Music] come on West yen as Michael La Buena hello hola perito Loco look at that [Music] Windows come away we probably shouldn't be walking on train tracks actually we definitely should not be walking on these train tracks oh my God oh man if I if I just take one wrong step I am going right through these little gaps so with that said Buenas Come Away with this thank you see with that said I'm probably going to end the video here in this town and then we'll carry on tomorrow oh my God look at that and I hate heights foreign don't look down these are the internet vouchers just like everything else here in Cuba internet is also complicated it is a complicated matter so each one of these cards is one hour of internet and I bought it for 50 pesos each so 300 I've got six or six hours until tonight so what you do is you scratch the back and you get your your Contra senior your password [Music] we're leaving Santi Espiritu and we're going to the bus terminal and we are going to go and find our armless Moto taxi driver to take us to cover it one and then from there we are going to go to Havana finally it's going to take about seven eight hours or so it says on the map it's gonna take way longer than that um and we are going to see what we can find along the way guess what I had for breakfast me nothing because it had a cockroach in it but at least it wasn't a sandwich so all good check it out espiritos on a Monday morning so let's go see if we can find out on this driver to take us to go bike one okay let's go crack a cut so change my channel name like all these other [ __ ] anyways check it out we're at the terminal let's see if we can find edermis [Music] the reason why I want to find edermis is not because he hasn't got any arms is because he knows where the tobacco plantations are and he was telling me about them yesterday so hopefully he's here and he can take me or he comes back soon because it doesn't look like he's here tomorrow all right we found our guy first we're going to go to his house full of tobacco Plantation that's the plan for himself you never know [Music] man I really like bikes today [Music] no matter what those jobs where you need me [Music] the Cuba thank you [Applause] logos okay [Applause] easy forever Joe peritos foreign [Music] foreign let's see foreign I really respect people like edermis you know even though life has given him a disadvantage yes still managed to overcome that and make the best out of the situation and then there's a whole bunch of you [ __ ] that say oh life is hard this that I can't do this I'm depressed there are literally people without arms and legs that [ __ ] less than you um do you use some buenos gracious the fact of gracias come on that structure up there like a UFO some communist building foreign [Music] flag there that was the movement that move us through the or not we have made it to the town of kabaguan as you can see it used to be a tobacco town but uh foreign [Music] [Music] all right so we weren't allowed in that factory either or because of government restrictions and regulations so we're going to go and see our last option he's really trying he's really trying his best to show me it's not his fault okay wow yes see yeah wow barking sandwiches got ourselves some you guessed it sandwiches so now the deadness is going to take us to the highway because there are no buses here buses aren't working so it's going to take us to the highway and then I'm going to hitchhike that is the only option sandwich no how'd you know I think we found a tobacco Plantation almost all good check it out we made it okay wow it's like yeah there's a oh it's sticky sauce wow check it out tobacco Plantation this is where your fancy cigars come from guys or no okay so he's going to bring the bike we're gonna see this is where they dry the tobacco so check it out it's not like what it used to be in the days most of the tobacco plantations are closed down to to the circumstances the country is under hola oh [ __ ] attack me hello Max relax [Music] [Music] [Music] you know [Music] Manuel here he is hola um everybody [Music] um you know yeah wow foreign thank you okay check it out guys this is the backbone of Cuba because ever see okay wow look at this guys This Is How They this is how they dry it out um

a tourist trap foreign [Music] yeah he's giving me a Head Rush beautiful images this is the best smoke to my whole life it is me on he's gonna drop me now off at the highway two hitchhike to Havana because they're buses so I'm gonna stand on the side of the road yes dollars inspiration [Music] foreign all right so I think there's the bus let's see if we can take it so Mission completed I couldn't have found a better guy to give him a nice little tip like that Ohana we are in luck we are in La Muchachos yeah what an inspiration that guy you know he lost his arms in the angolan Border walk South Africa was fighting in that wall when I told them I was from South Africa I must have brought him some flashbacks oh yeah hello what was it all right let's go to Havana [Music] oh my God yeah I took a little stop so we can see we need something and guess what we got sandwiches [ __ ] me [ __ ] sandwiches I better don't break the [ __ ] me too [ __ ] me this is the worst [ __ ] thing I've eaten in my life [ __ ] sandwiches man Cuba and its sandwiches [ __ ] sandwiches within another [ __ ] sandwich so they have in this country to eat [ __ ] sandwiches pork sandwiches [ __ ] me out of that whole shop all they've got to offer it's [ __ ] sandwiches it's very good after this trip I'm never eating another sandwich in my life all right guys we have made it to Havana that was way quicker than I thought actually when they woke me up they're like yeah we made it to a funerals yep we're in Havana in the center so now we need to find a way to get to a hotel I have nothing books as always so let's go let's go find a hotel would you I mean look at this look at the state of this this is the capital people have you ever seen something like this it's like this city has been bombed 50 years ago I never rebuilt I don't know if this will be the last of my Cooper videos I'm probably going to end the video over here I have one more day tomorrow so if I find something to film if I'll find something to film cool if not this will be the last time you'll see me in Cuba because I'm definitely getting banned from this country that's all right I don't really want to come back anyways it has been let's put it this way a nightmare and I cannot imagine how it is for the people living here looking for a hotel with me [Music] wow okay I got ourselves a hotel here a very nice hotel I wanted something good after that long journey with Wi-Fi and everything so let's go check it out and breakfast included for 103 dollars not bad it's strange it's like it's been abandoned I don't hear any guests don't see any guests this is a four-star hotel this is one of the main hotels here in Havana 201 6. five four three two one Jesus she literally gave me the last room at the end so it means there must be guests [Applause] let's see oh wow that's better we have lights let there be light all right some very shitty light and it stinks but at least we got a hotel and uh yeah we're gonna go and get some food and let's pray it's not gonna be sandwiches [ __ ] me what is this [ __ ] you know it is it smells rancid in here this must be the oldest hotel I've ever oh my God it smells antique this must be about 100 years old everything I doubt they even washed that [ __ ] me what do you have in here closet in case some of you [ __ ] want to come out of it just look in here this is the bathroom why is everything so dim shampoo conditioner well at least we got bath gel that's good I've been using a bar of soap for about a week so the good thing about communist hotels is you can smoke inside of them they even give you an ashtray for that [Music] that is beautiful the perfect thing to end of a long day
