    How were the sand fleas on the beach? Went to cuba a couple years ago and I swore Id never go back.

      @@Ken_Domik you cant see them, but youll feel them usually in 24 hours. Youre legs may be itching and have red spots. It was a very unpleasant experience. Hopefully you and youre wife have better luck!

    When we went to Playa Pilar 10 years ago, staying at Melia Cayo Guillermo, we took a taxi. Got to drive in a Lada, that was fun. We brought some beer from the mini fridge, and just used hotel beach towels. It was like 10$. Beach was nice, but so was the hotel beach…Weather was nice that day at least! Glad you made the best of the excursion under the circumstances!

    can you go to playa pilar just by paying the bus? without the food included etc?

    • @Ken_Domik
      @Ken_Domik  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the island bus drops people off there, ask your hotel staff or take a taxi or rent motorcycles

    I really enjoyed this video. The food looked pretty bad though and like you said the beach is just as nice at the resort. I think I'd save the money and pass on that excursion. There has to be better excursions offered by the resort.

    Have you been to Lenny’s Bar and Grill? It’s also known as Playa Prohibita and it’s an amazing place you should visit if you haven’t already

    Hi Ken. I noticed when you went to lennys, you had a beer. From other videos I have seen lately, as well as this one, beer is not available. Do you have any insight on why that is ?

    That lunch didn’t look very good to me. The lobster looked dry and I’d rather have cake then just pineapple chunks for dessert

    Thank you very much for sharing your video! Crystal is also my favourite 😁 I will soon be returning to Cuba for the first time since the pandemic. What can I bring with me that is most needed by Cubans? Medication, toothpaste, clothes, school supplies?

    • @Ken_Domik
      @Ken_Domik  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you have pain medications,for adults, children and babies. Old back packs you don’t use anymore. Gently used shoes or new. Blue Jays hats and t shirts 👕

    • @arobichaud001
      @arobichaud001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, that is most helpful. I will bring all the medication that I can and shoes of all sizes. I’m in Moncton, NB flying out of Halifax, I will try my best to find Blue Jays memorabilia.

    glad you are enjoying your trip, sounds like your excursion was a ripoff, lobster didn't look very appetizing I always enjoyed the double decker for five bucks and then come and go as I pleased seems like nowadays we are paying more for less in cuba any who have fun.

    Thank you so much for your video Absolutely loved Seeing pilar.
    I don't know if the hop on hop off bus is still running but if it is It's a flat fee for the day And it takes you to Pilar And if Melia Is still doing sister resort day passes, It makes for a very fun day trip to go to pilar, and then go to one of the sister resorts with a very Minimal cost.

    • @Ken_Domik
      @Ken_Domik  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This was a bus that only picked up a few locations, waited at Pilar until we left, took us to lunch and home. You can still do the hop on hop off bus and bring your own lobster lunch 🥗

    Hi there Carol and Ken, I am glad that you semi enjoyed your excursion to Playa Pilar. It is sad that the Melia hotel sub contracts these locations for their guests, but that's how they make extra money! The weather as you know was typical for the Caribbean! Rain for 10 min and sunshine for the next hour! My favorite part is to go swimming while it's raining! Sorry but what you were served was not a lobster soup but a lobster broth! You are the expert at foods, look it up! I am happy that you are enjoying your vacation and can't wait to have you back home to see more stealth camping! Ciao

  • @cynthiasmith9336

    I think because of my current situation with my mom’s dementia and dad’s Alzheimer’s I focus a lot on Carol in these videos knowing she just lost her mom. I think it’s wonderful she’s getting away with you in a beautiful place and I’m sending you both lots of care.

    i am sure the soup was just broth of the lobster and you ate the lobster meat!! just my guess

    • @patrickcooper9641
      @patrickcooper9641 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely correct! Not too many people know the difference between broth and soup until they taste "the real soup"!

    Wow,
    Have to say not the best trip.
    Thanks for letting me know what excursion not to go on...lol
    I can see why people would leave, but yeah they should of told the driver.
    Esa no fue una buena excursión, cinco dólares por una silla sin cerveza y langosta seca.

    wow Ken and Carol, thanks so much for these videos. Places in my life time i more than likely never ever experience personally in my lifetime. I have to ask... has Carol been working out... she is looking fantastic, it has been a while we have seen Carol. Looking vibrant and very healthy and happy. You must be keeping Carol very happy Ken. Thanks again for the videos! Love to you both.
