We are, once again, travelling alone with nor group neither guide. This was the first time that we went somewhere with an organised tour and I have to admit that for Cuba is the best choice. Everything is so much easier; there is no risk of getting lost in the Cuban motorway that have no signs at all. There is also to say that a local guide will give you much more information than any guide book available. There is also to say that a tour is very much peace of mind, no need to stress to look for an accommodation or a restaurant, in this way you have more time to enjoy your time , relax and talk with the people.
So now that we are on our own it's back to the old habit of selecting think to see and do. Today we decide to visit the Capitolio (Capital Building) the rum factory (Havana Club). We’ll also be spending some time looking for the last souvenirs and artworks for our flat. In the second part of the day we tried to visit the synagogue, but unfortunately it was closed. The latter is in the Vedado area of the city, and interesting part that is attracting more and more tourists. Once there we had an ice-cream at the very well known Coppelia, the finest helado in town. Just across the road there is this music store so we thought to have a look in and we came out with 4 CDs and a DVD.
The cinema is not that far away so we start to queue for our second and last film of the festival. This time it is called "Suspiros de Corazon" and Argentinean film. A completely different type of film, comparing to the previous one, more a comedy than anything else. We went one with a smile on our lips like everyone else in the theatre. Time to go back to Old Town – we’re going to have dinner in Havana Vieja.
