Cuba in sight
After
landing at the airport in Holguin the first we saw from the airplane
was the
text "Socialismo o muerte" (Socialism or death)
My stomach turned around and I wondered
what we were getting into
Two women, my husband and I were the only passengers
who get out the plane because the rest flew to Havana 1.000 km. further away
We
were the only passenger plane, further we saw only military aircraft
At the stairs were soldiers with impressive guns and dogs
waiting to guide us to the
arrival hall
(Today, the wall is painted white and there are no soldiers at the plane)
Customs examined each passport thoroughly and after
this ritual the door opened
With a loud bang the door fell behind me and I couldn't see my husband
I was very pleased when he came through the door after some time
Then we went to the baggage claim where the dogs walked
sniffing at every suitcase and bag
Then the dogs turned circles around us while the soldiers watched
Such "welcome" we've never had
Luckily we got our bags quickly and the holiday could begin
It was an impressive holiday and we`ve been back in
Cuba several times since then
Holguin
