Habana (Havana), Cuba


 
After an expensive taxi ride we finally find ourselves a cosy casa particulare. It is somewhat funny at first when you imagine yourself sleeping and dining with local people, having your own little room and bathroom. Note that houses here are not particularly big. Also the people here are really bad with their english so we are kind of trying to learn the most basic spanish words.
We fell for our first scam when a friendly guy pretending to be a teacher showed us around and took us for a drink afterwards he managed to persuade us to buy him a very expensive diapers for his one year old baby. Only later one we realized that none of it was true right after we bumped into another one of his colleagues. We managed to get some of the money back though; they seem to be scared of the police here. The city is nice and the people are friendly though. All classic cars enthusiasts would enjoy this city.
We decided to skip the Varadero and Playa del Este but we will probably pay a visit to them on our way back, if we have any money left.
