Our Hostal La Cueva is directly across the street from the local fire station and while there is some benefit to that in regards to response times if we need them, but not so much when an electrical fault saw a government building catch fire two blocks from our Casa.
I was awoken to a whole lot of banging, crashing, shouting & hollering, so I open the front door the see 4 firies (firemen) push starting one of the two fire trucks and then head off round the corner and then the siren stops. With curiosity getting the better of me, I followed the sound of the noise to see the building ablaze.
After getting back into town after full day exploring to the North, we all met up at the main casa - Casa Elvira, around 7:30 PM with a couple of bottles of Havana Club rum and a carton or two of the local Bucanero cervezas before partaking in a leisurely impromptu pub crawl down the main street of Baracoa.
