Today was chill day after our long walk and before our trip back to Havana tomorrow. We tried again to take money out with some of the other cards we had with us. Seems the only cards that work in Cuba are Visa and Mastercard. Maesto is out the window so if you ever decide to come to Cuba, so make sure you have something that works! This should have rang alarm bells, but somehow we convinced ourselves that they would work in Havana and so we stayed optimistic.
So after failure we made it to the Casa Nenita for a day of lounging around the pool and playing on the pool table. In the evening we went to the square for sandwiches, a cold cerveza and entertainment from the local loco we called freckles (his face was covered in them). He would shout, get peoples’ attention and would start his sentences with “Chorro…” while carrying a piece of cardboard attached to his chest saying “Mi amo chorro!”. Not sure what it meant, neither did our host. Furthermore, he would also start pulling out certain joga moves in the middle of the street, allowing tourists to take pictures of him while doing so. Shame we didnt have ours!
Post entertainment we headed back to the casa to play cards and have a few cervezas before hitting the deck. Tomorrow we would be leaving for Havana so a good nights sleep was in order.
