excellent under the fan, because it's hot in the tropics. Very little noise at night in the streets. We wake up to 07h 30, we are preparing slowly and take an excellent breakfast prepared by our hostess. Well rested, we leave at 09:30 for the discovery of the old city in which we follow, the streets are narrow and cut the cord. The facades of the buildings are all vintage. Many renovations in progress and future are held everywhere. The good surprise comes from the people, very quiet, smiling, not stressed. No excessive noise or car horns or shouts. It's very relaxing. The few touts do not stress and do so with a smile. We stroll with pleasure in the old town, the facades hidden treasures in the form of patios and gardens more beautiful than each other. Many museums and art galleries share the ground floor of the streets. Automotive side, we are in a rolling museum of American cars of the 50s, remarkably maintained, see restored and tinkered with the means at hand, they roll to the delight of all drivers and passengers. We visit the terrace of one of the tallest buildings of the city amount to 8 ° floor with elevator. The site provides a 360 ° view of Havana. People wait patiently before us, and all of a sudden people enter a room in the dark. Around a large plate light, a guide describes the landscape that is reflected in this large basin, rotating mirror, it's really unexpected and original. We continue by visiting the cathedral, then we get lost in the streets, as the old town is tourism, as soon as you leave the area, the Cubans are well present, everyday life takes place on the terraces, balconies and sidewalks. We travel the main roads central city with large gardens, theater and the Capitol, identical to its counterpart in Washington.
A musical film is being shot, allowing us to see even more beautiful American gleaming. Then we go by the street and Brazil we stop at a restaurant, our first opportunity to drink mojitos, Cuban specialties, rum, mint leaves, is excellent and it gives us a little little bit of fatigue. We return mid-afternoon in our room. We do not know if fatigue comes from jet lag, Mojitos or 17 km we have to walk. Well, we'll see tomorrow to continue our discovery Havana. This island deserves to be known and I think she'll still book of surprises.
