Taxi? Chica? Disco?

Well, those are words you hear quite often. Jinteros are the people who try to sell you cheap cigars (made from tobacco-waste), ladies or anything you could "need".
The round trip here is rather different to the round-the-world trip I did because it's a journey organized by a German travel agency. So there are some disadvantages (e.g. the price... I'm still crying) but also advantages - we had not much to organize :)
We're now in Habana (Havana), the capitol of Cuba. Tomorrow we will the Mausoleum of Che Guevara in Santa Clara and then check in a hotel there. So a horrible bus drive is waiting for us tomorrow (the bus obviously has no anti shock).
The traffic discipline is astonishingly high. Our guide Ernesto told us that it is very difficult to get a car in Cuba - so that is probably the reason why the traffic discipline is so high.
Yesterday we had the best cocktails and lobster in the whole, fu** world! I'm very sorry you are not here, Mole! But as cold comfort (schwacher Trost) I can tell you the cocktails were very expensive ... for Cuban ratios - 5 CUC (Pesos Convertibles), about 4,5 Euro, per cocktail ;)
Ok, as we're short of time because 2 delicious self-made Cuba Libre are waiting for us at our room (1 bottle ron (Spanish for rum), aged 3 years: 7 CUC, 2 Cokes: each 2 CUC). So check the new pictures here!
