This hotel is burning a hole in my pocket, have found a Casa Particular to stay in. Nothing fancy, pretty basic really, but the elderly couple running it are very friendly plus I feel like they need the custom.
Wandered around this afternoon down to the Malecon (the Havana ocean drive), was after quite a bit of rain so maybe that was why it seemed a bit quiet. On one side of the road is a big sea wall which had waves crashing over it, on the other were faded, crumbling beautiful old buildings (some of which they were doing up).
Plenty of hustlers here, was eating lunch when a woman sat down at my table and started talking to me and showing me pictures .. I tried to appear disinterested but she didn´t get the hint until after she had given me the sob story ..
That night I met a gorgeous German girl at a Middle Eastern restaurant. We went out for some drinks and then I sheepishly had to wake my elderly hosts in order to get back into the casa at 5am .. I felt like a naughty teenager!
