    Getting TO/AROUND: We travelled around Havana by the old but golden American Cars - in my case a
    Ford T 1928.
    And in the rear view mirror this Habana lady - just saying "Hello strangers - be welcome"

    Getting TO/AROUND: The most beautiful experience to visit this Capitol of Cuba is by mountainbike.
    In group we started in the morning - under the leading eye of three Cuban hosts - Cuban Flagg on their bike we cross countried the Town and saw places usual Tourists do not see !!
    You rent a bike at the company Panaciclos (same as Panataxi) but take care - Cycling is sometimes dangerous in a Capital like Habana

    Getting TO/AROUND: Some busses are donated by foreign countries like the Netherlands,Belgium and Spain.Funny to see the former destinations like Shiphol-Mortsel (haha) or Barcelona.
    Those busses are most of all used by the locals and schools.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The "Camel Bus" might be the most popular and cheapest way to travel in Havana.
    Most of the time it is overcrowed but it only will cost you a few pesos to get to the place you want.You just need some patience.
    Did you know that in Havana there are busses especially for bike travellers ?
    Havana is just unique !

    Getting TO/AROUND: Visiting the place of Calle Hammel for a second time - we saw the master himself - trying to start his oldsmobile - but with a little help from a local - he succeeded! - in the meantime - we had some private pictures with the master - lucky me again !!
