Havana
Random facts about Cuba: one in four cars on the road is a Russian Lada, there are no poisonous snakes, sex-change operations are legal and free. Practical stuff: there are two types of currency here. You'll use convertibles (CUC) and the locals use pesos (CUP).Day 1Get acquainted with HavanaPre-departure meeting in the eveningDay 2Spend the day exploring (La Habana Vieja) Old HavanaPerhaps visit a local historic bar and grab a mojito in the eveningTrinidad
Apparently the locals thought white buildings would be too harsh in the heat of the day, so they're painted blue, yellow and terracotta. This is the place to buy a canchanchara - lemon juice, honey and Santero Cuban rum served in a glazed ceramic pot.
