The last few days...


Back in Habana for the last few days of our trip we did the tourist thing and visited our first and last Cuban museum, the Havana Club rum centre (awful). Taking time to have a nice meal, sit, drink beer (yes - you can have too many mojitos) and take in the surroundings we relaxed for the last 2 days of our trip.


Buying some cheap posters with our last Pesos we decided to have a few last mojitos and then get some food for our last night. As we sat sipping our mojitos listening to live son (a typical Cuban music) a local sat with us trying to help us with the usual cigar supplies. As we explained we had only enough pesos for the taxi to the airport he pointed out that we also needed $50 for airport tax, a fact we had conveniently forgotten in our budgeting. Checking Mikes wallet we had enough to pay for the drinks in front of us and the airport tax - gone was our last meal and night of drinking.
Instead we decided to buy two cans of beer and a bottle of water and spend our last evening smoking our last cigar sat in a park opposite the tourist restaurants listening to the music for free. With some left over chocolate for dinner we had a very romantic, if pikey last night of travelling!
