Hmmm

Both my phones got stolen today. I have been expecting to be robbed ever since I first arrived in Cuba, so am always soooo careful, holding my bag tight, not taking my phone if I'm going somewhere busy, out at night etc. So today it gets stolen from the nice pool at the posh hotel while I was 3 metres away in the water. Mombacho Beach Club, Hotel Spa Granada - No one go there!!!!!!! Am not very pleased. Was with my phone all day lying at the edge of the pool, then went for a swim for about an hour. Well sat on the step in the pool facing my bag, so I don't know how it happened, but when we got out the pool when most people had left both my phones were missing from my bag :( 

Went and told the woman on the bar who called a man who turned up with his two children to tell me that it wasn't them. She told me to say it definitely was them because they were black and thieves she said. But I don't think it was them. I told her I thought it was these two girls who asked me why I'd only just got in the water. But she said it couldn't be as they were her daughters. So after a while they decided there was nothing more they could do and told me I should be more careful with my stuff, after being quite offended that I was only accusing the Nicas not the other tourists, saying they shouldn't let them in the pool...! 

Then went on Facebook in the internet cafe and found a strange status from me. Turns out to be the name of a girl from Granada, Nicaragua. So I print off her picture and my Facebook page and marched back to the hotel with my evidence. Then there is a dippy American boy as manager, so he didn't help much, he also looked her up in Facebook and tried to call the woman who was on the bar and said I should go back tomorrow. 

I then went to the Police station, and told them what happened, and made a statement. They seemed more interested than I thought they would be. Then he printed it off and off we went back to the hotel to investigate!!! When I arrived back with a policeman was a very different story. American boy and doorman looked quite terrified..ha. Policeman demanded to see the pool etc and said he would be back tomorrow. 

Will see what happens...
