In the Bay of Pigs, I put my teeth in a crocodile

During our stay in Cuba we visited the Bay of Pigs a few times

Most of you will immediately think of the invasion of 1961 when

they hear " Bay of Pigs”

Everywhere we saw memorials along the way of soldiers who were killed during the invasion

In the Bay of Pigs we visited a crocodile farm

The crocodiles were grown to be eaten

First, we could see how they were fed but the meat smelled awful

The smell was almost unbearable and I find crocodiles repulsive beasts

After the tour we had lunch with … crocodile meat

I can honestly tell you that I didn't like the idea

I eat everything but a crocodile .... 

I gathered all my courage and put a piece in my mouth and tried not to think it was crocodile meat

To my surprise it tastes good, it tasted a bit like chicken

I never had thought that I ever would put my teeth in a crocodile

Snorkeling in Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) at Punta Perdiz

The recreation area Punta Perdiz can be found on the Bay of Pigs,

between Playa Larga and Playa Giron

After paying (€ 8 pp) entrance we could use a buffet meal and get

unlimited drinks all afternoon at the bar on sea

After dinner we rented gear to snorkel here but you can

also rent diving equipment

The Caribbean sea was beautiful blue-green and bright

The fish swam behind you and once you lay still they came circling around you

After snorkeling you could, on a lounger, enjoy the magnificent views

of Bahia de Cochinos

The sink in the bathroom was decorated with fresh flowers

Bay of Pigs…a place to remember in the Caribbean…
