Cuba Baby!! :)

I have been in beautiful Mexico for 6 months now and it was time to leave the country to renew my visa. So where else is better to go than the land of sigars, mojito, fascinating politics and dirty dancing ;) CUBA BABY!! :D

Havana is absolutely beautiful! It feels like ur stepping in to the 1950s with the colorful Cadillacs and the political slogans written everywhere.



I think Havana is a very hard city to get around first time around. So for my next trip I would want to go with someone who knows the ways to get around. Its hard to find genuine local places to go out for both drinks and dancing as they seem very proud of the more touristy places, and that where they take you is you ask for a recommendation.
And it would be easier and cheaper to change money and buy cigars ;)

Cuba has two currencies, one for locals (CUP) which is cheap and one for gringos (CUC) which is equivalent to the dollar and its expensive. But as i understood now cubans can't even pay with CUP anymore which means its crazy expensive for them, as they still get paid in it. But as everything political in Cuba, no one really understand why or how it really works..

I think u really need to work at it to get to the heart of Cuba, cause what you see as a tourist is not real...
But Havana is an amazing city, unlike anywhere Ive been before and a truly recommend a trip there in the nearest future before everything changes.

Picture time! :)

 

We had an amazing trip!

Havana for the win
