Although it is no more than a 10-minute boat ride from Granada, the hustle and bustle of the city seems miles away. The Jicaro lodge is a small resort on a private island in Lake Nicaragua. A few days in this little paradise is real pampering.
During my trip in Nicaragua I stayed at a special place on the Pacific coast, Morgan's Rock. It is located directly on the beach, has a fine spa, a swimming pool with a beautiful view and an excellent restaurant.
Before I went to Cuba, I often heard that you could forget good food in Cuba. It would mainly be an uninspired mountain of rice with chicken. Fortunately, now that I am back, I can say that nothing could be further from the truth.
Havana is a crazy city, with several characteristic neighbourhoods, each with its own identity. Discovering the Cuban capital is at times like travelling back in time.
When I arrive in Barichara, even though I have only been there once before, it feels like coming home. It is such a place that you feel like you are embracing yourself like a warm blanket. I visited the place and its surroundings in an active way.
