3rd may - Havana, Cuba

retty shattered and kind of still uptight, think the last few weeks in LDN have taken their toll a wee bit, so we decide to hit Playa Este, the beaches to...haha the east of Havana. catch a naff tourist bus there and time it perfectly! good show arn and den.
Beach is quiet (people wise) but a bit rough and wild...think there must be storms, because the wind whips around and the waves are a bit fierce. But lovely and warm and we read and swim and read and eat and read and swim, Nice and relaxing. Decide to leave around 4, sand EVERYWHERE and gingerly sit on a clean air con naff naff tourist bus again, feeling wind swept, saltly, sandy and a tiny wee sunburnt. Loving the people watching here. Theres not too many inhabitions. Police woman, bleached hair like hoolihan, tight short skirt (guess she doesn't do much running), and fish net hold ups. niiiiice. the woman are tiny when they're young but guess the peso pizza takes its tolll when they get older. Must try and eat more veges!
nothing a shower and rest can't fix! Decide to hit the malecon for dinner and find a bit more of a swanky place tho den still manages to order pizza! nice chicken and rice croquettes in black bean sauce. Nomnom. goooooood as and strong mojito too!
Bed!
