This day we made it back to the capital by plane – actually we were flying to an unfinished airport outside of Havana … as it turned out we had flown from Baracoa to Playa de Baracoa.

We made it back into town – this time staying in a bigger casa in Habana Vieja – with a nice rooftop terrace providing great views of town.

The first real day of the tour … after a tour briefing in the morning, our tour leader Natalia organized a big taxi to get us (twelve in total … plus her) over to the old town (Habana Vieja) for a guided walking tour around the main sights and some other stops (from the best chocolate drink to the some of the best views in town).

After the tour finished the group split … the Europeans (British, Swiss and German) went for early afternoon mojitos to the rooftop bar of the Ingleterra (England) hotel – followed by a tour on the open roof tourist bus (no mojitos here though) … the rest of the group (Aussies and Kiwis) went for solid food – a proper lunch.
