Why hell?

We arrive at 10 in the night, at 4 AM, Emilie woke up due to the ants in the bed. They itch so strongly, that she had to stay from 3 AM to 6 AM in the sea to calm the pain.  Because we were in the heaven, the sea was at only 20 meters away from our home.

Next day, at 8 pm, I was eating dinner. I felt very strong itching, the same as Emilie. I leave the dinner, go to my room, see that there are ants in my boxer… I had forgot the package of a candy in one pocket :((. Because we are in heaven, I could resume my lobster feast.

Every Cuban says that the tap water is not good for tourists and that you have to get used to it. A bottle of water cost 2$, so they have to adapt. But how is possible a country with a very good health system to have bad water ? I thought that government might spread this rumor about the water, in order to get more money from the tourists.  I began drinking from the tap half a glass, the one glass, the one liter …. Big mistake, I was very sick for 2 days.
