Havana, Cuba, North America Today wasn’t a great day for me. I woke up after a pretty bad night’s sleep because I’ve had a dodgy stomach all night. It must have been something I ate, but I’m not exactly sure what it was. I spent all morning in bed, and was actually pretty happy that I hadn’t been able to book one of those tours after all.

Not my smartest move. I got up around 8am and tried to find a towel so I could take a shower. I then had to try to find a shower that actually had a door on that room, because the only one I…
Havana, Cuba, North America I got a wake up call from the hotel at 4:10am, that I definitely didn’t ask for and was not expecting. I guess it makes sense that they do that for everyone who is on this flight to make sure you don’t miss the rescheduled flight. Good thinking. I had a quick shower and then went downstairs to grab a quick breakfast before getting the bus. It turns out the breakfast they put out for us…
