Surreal lunch experience
Punta Gorda的点评
点评：Beautiful building but not wheelchair friendly in any way to get in or out, with a dark-wooden interior.
Our problem was arriving around 10-30-11.00 after leaving Cienfuegos. This was the first, and only disadvantage of being on a very small, private tour - we were too efficient and punctual compared with 30-40 people with bags etc. on a coach. Apparently, there was nothing to do or visit before lunch due to the itinerary and petrol. We could have visited the botanical gardens instead of waiting until after lunch, but Orlando the driver was worried about doing this and running out of petrol before getting to Trinidad, our ultimate destination for the day. This left us in a very awkward situation: somewhat stranded inside waiting for lunch which at the very earliest, eating around midday and would have been an hour and a half in the future. In fact we were closer to the breakfast we'd eaten earlier than we were to a super-early lunch...
Another Cuban example of inefficiency was on display from the moment we arrived - too many staff and not enough work led them to try and 'look busy' by constantly hovering around the edges of the room as they wanted the boss to think they were doing something because they had visitors and visitors mean lunch and work. This happened many times despite us telling the boss and our guide that we'd let them know when we were ready for lunch, but this was like playing whack-a-mole - the minute one pair of waitresses were told we weren't ready, another pair would appear hovering and smiling near the door...
Finally, around 12.00 when we couldn't continue with this silly game we gave up and said we were now ready for lunch as it was a couple of minutes after noon. After all that fuss, lunch was the same as everywhere else - 2 courses plus dessert, no choices, pay for drinks including water. Just as we were leaving a coach party arrived to give everyone some work to do at more like lunchtime.

翻译：建筑很漂亮，但进出时轮椅无法通行，内部采用深色木质装饰。
我们的问题是离开西恩富戈斯后，大约 10-30-11.00 到达。这是参加小型私人旅行的第一个也是唯一的缺点 - 与 30-40 名带着行李等的长途汽车上的游客相比，我们效率太高，准时。显然，由于行程和汽油问题，午餐前没有什么可做或参观的。我们本可以参观植物园，而不必等到午餐后，但司机奥兰多担心这样做会在到达特立尼达之前耗尽汽油，特立尼达是我们当天的最终目的地。这让我们陷入了非常尴尬的境地：有点被困在里面等待午餐，最早也要在中午左右吃，而且要一个半小时后才能吃完。事实上，我们离早点吃的早餐更近了，而离超早的午餐更近了……
从我们到达的那一刻起，古巴效率低下的另一个例子就展现出来了——员工太多，工作不够，他们试图“看起来很忙”，不停地在房间的边缘徘徊，他们想让老板认为他们在做某事，因为他们有访客，而访客意味着午餐和工作。尽管我们告诉老板和导游，我们会在午餐时通知他们，但这种情况还是发生了很多次，但这就像玩打地鼠游戏——一对女服务员被告知我们还没准备好，另一对就会出现在门口徘徊并微笑着……
最后，大约 12 点，当我们无法继续这个愚蠢的游戏时，我们放弃了，并说我们现在可以吃午饭了，因为已经过了中午几分钟。经过这么大的麻烦，午餐和其他地方一样——两道菜加甜点，没有选择，饮料包括水都要付费。就在我们离开时，一群旅游团到达，给大家布置了一些午餐时间的工作。
