Fantastic Tour - Honest People

The bus pulled up to the front of the resort just after lunch and all tourists got on board.  From Varadero the bus headed to Havana making a stop at a deserted building as a pit stop.  The building was very unique as it was plastered with sea shells.  

After leaving the tour visited downtown Havana to visit many of the historic sites.  

After a pleasant visit around the city the group were ushered into a hotel to freshen up before attending the Havana Flamingo show that was absolutely amazing.  When first entered the show cigars and flowers were given to each person.  At the table the group received a bottle of rum ... one bottle for every four people.  This tour is for everyone ... single or couples.  I met a lot of great people on this tour.  

When the group returned to the bus after the show it was already close to midnight.  With the long drive back to the resort everyone fell asleep.  

Early the next morning I realized I had left my camera on the bus.  I thought it was a lost cause, but I approached the concierge who organizes the tours from the resort.  She quickly called the companies driver and found that the driver was away on another tour driving a different bus.  The concierge indicated that it was unlikely that I would get the camera back, but she would keep on trying.  I can only imagine that it was a lost cause and was more concerned about all the photos that I had taken.  To my surprise, I received a call from the front desk the next day, that there was a package for me.  When I went to the front desk, there was a bag with my camera in it.  It turned out that the concierge went to the bus tour location after her work by bus and it took her over a couple of hours to get there.  She found the bus and the camera still there.  She picked it up and brought it directly back to the resort the next morning before she headed to her other job [she only works 3 days at this resort].  I never got  a chance to personally thank her and am forever grateful.  

The concierge made my  trip so much more pleasant ... she was such a treat.
