Havana sightseeing

Malene needed to sleep a bit more this morning so she stayed in bed while Frederik and I got up early to take a short walk in town. Havana has its beautiful spots – and right next to those it looks like the town has been bombed.

So nice to walk in the early morning where you could just observe people doing their everyday business and they didn’t take too much care about us. Walked by the revolution museum where there were a nice exhibit of various cold war artefacts including missiles, remains of a U2 plane shot down in the 60’s as well as the boat that carried Fidel and friends across the Mexican gulf to invade Cuba and start the revolution. Funny to observe school children and their teachers walking around talking about the revolution when the world is falling apart around them outside the museum.

Walked back to Malene and went straight for lunch – pizza again – before walking a bit more around town enjoying the sunshine. Waved good-bye to Frederik in the afternoon and walked to the Opera to get a guided trip. Such a beautiful building and our guide for once had a pulse. She actually had some kind of optimism in her voice. We enjoyed walking through the beautiful building and the grand halls. Went on walking doing more or less the same trip as Frederik and I did in the morning. Still so nice to walk around Havana. Had dinner at a small restaurant that served local food. The same as we got in the casa’s. Nothing new for us. Went to bed early. No drinks tonight.
