Nice by night, crowded by day, we only stayed one night and half a day in Camagüey. The bus-timetable is awful: If you want to leave towards the north, the two Viazul busses part at midnight and at 02:40 a.m.

So we bargained for a ride in a coche-particular (an illegal and stinky private car) to Santa Clara. After long discussions we were able to get the ride for 50$ instead of 80$.
