Havana - night 1

Picked up at the airport with a car from 1953, passed from generation to generation. They obviously didn't think people would travel with suitcases back then so the car was full.

We drove to meet our tour organizer, Barbara, a cuban lady living in Amersfoort but currently in Cuba. Then off to our local casa particares, think bed and breakfast. Quite empty because very few tourist presently. Owner, Alina, and most of Cuba don't speak English but she has a neighbor helping out.

Then we walked a bit around old Havana, where we got asked a million if we wanted to change money or get a taxi.. We were advised to always say no but we did not one time and got trapped for 10€. Live and learn.

Old Cuba is in shambles. Overwhelming Poverty, but still friendly and safe.
Still beautiful, still historical...Les mer
