Reconstruction of an Indian village on island Guama in Laguna del Tesoro

The boat leaves from the Zapata peninsula at the crocodile farm

The Laguna del Tesoro is a lake of ​​92 km2

It owes its name (tesoro = wealth) to a treasure that the Indians would have thrown in the lake by arrival of the Spaniards

In the Laguna are twelve islands with a hotel and an Indian museum

You can also visit the lagoon if you aren't staying at the hotel

On the "Indian Island" you will find Indian statues and huts

In a cabin an "Indian" was standing with a shell at the exit

Personally, I found this island terribly fake but I have enjoyed all the unusual birds and beautiful scenery and the boat ride was very nice

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
