The last day of our stay in Vinales. Today we prepared to depart for Havana and enjoyed the last hors by the pool of Nenita. We took the bus down to Havana and arrived at Juan Carlos casa at around 5 pm.
We still had an unresolved mystery with our credit cards and were hoping to draw some money out in Havana to last for 2 days and an airport tax. By then we only had some national pesos left, probably just enough for a pizza of the stand. As soon as we sorted our staff out we ventured to find the cash point. To our horror the cards didn’t work and by then it was too late to go to the bank. That made us worry quite a bit…
I wrote to Anna, asking her to get hold of the bank in Germany and find out what could have gone wrong. The whole situation was complicated as we didn’t have money to use internet and when we tried to call the bank spent 15€ for a call with no result. So in the evening we actually did end up sharing a pizza from the stand ;)
I think you can imagine that we couldn’t sleep that well… Anna responded to us at 5am that day, saying that in order to withdraw money from out DKB card we first have to transfer money onto it. How crazy is that?! They call it a credit card! Well this is pretty tricky, as internet is not available. We sent Anna a text with all our internet banking details and she initiated the transfer. The problem was that the money were only going to arrive on our account by 2am next day, which was a bit dodgy as we were not sure if the card would actually work.
With all those worries in mind we tried to get some more sleep.
