About time!

My friend and I planned this trip for almost 3 years, any time we were ready to go, something happened and made us postpone the trip.Finally we did it!

Casas

I came here with a friend who lives in France, so we did not have the chance to plan much about this trip, we just came with a strong will to meet as more people as possible, so we stayed away from hotels and restaurants and spent our time in casas particulares.

Aqui no hay niun festival de la salsa!!

As soon as we arrived and talked to the owner of our casa, we had the impression that here as nowhere where we had been before, tourists and locals do not share much. Different currencies, different transports, different beaches.The more costant contact that you get with locals in Havana is the one with jineteros trying to tell you that today starts the festival of salsa.

 Lots of architectural buildings in the city of Havana! The Cathedral, Revolution Museum and the various squares are truly remarkable. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang
