Translation of vejez

Since it had no wind and no turbulences at all we landed right on time. I had an entire afternoon until my connection to Havana and decided to spend it in the duty free shops, or in the restaurants.
The place I have been to is famous for its many language schools. People come from all over the world to learn Spanish and practise their language skills. I guess there are more than two hundred schools there.
We stayed there for a few hours observing the hugh ice blocks breaking off and falling into the icy waters leaving a water splash of over 100 meters. Each splash was followed by a dull thunder.
