Translation of Hochburg

I understood that this was a real problem in this country and many foreigners came for sex tourism. Many bad stories had happened but my hosts were decent people. I could tell that right away.
From that day on we shared dinner. In addition, I explained them, that the reasons for coming to Cuba was photography and the Spanish language, which I wanted to improve after studying for a year.
On the next day we took the tour to see the Peninsula. The tour itself was very boring and the guide had really not much to say that would interest me. The area was barren and completely flat.
