    Fusterlandi and old clothes

    October 23, 2017 in Cuba ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We had cereal in the casa before heading out for coffee and juice at La Cafe. We walked to Parque Central and caught the double decker bus to the Plaza of the Revolution. There wasn’t much to see there other than giant faces of Che and Cienfuegos. After we caught the bus to the end of the line where we had an adventurous time making it 3.5km to Fusterlandia to see the artistic house inspired by Picasso. It was a bit all over the place and had a junky feeling but overall quite interesting. The beach there wasn’t too great so we headed back by taxi to the bus stop. Back on the big double decker bus, we travelled back to Central Havana, past the port with the big cruise ship and got off at the market. I bought some tote bags and we had a coco loco on the water. After we stopped at the brewery for a beer while looking over the ports. The three of us squeezed into a ciclo back to our Casa. We went out for dinner at El Chanchullero where I tried the dish “old clothes” which was a yummy slow cooked pork in spices. We tried a Cubata cocktail which was similar to a Bloody Mary and quite spicy. After we went to Roma for a drink on the rooftop before heading home.Read more
