Day 8 - Final Day!

We've come to the final day of the tour.  What better way to use than to have some free time in old Havana and do some last minute site seeing.  We had an extended morning to pack up our things, clean our rooms, and load the bus before lunch.

Looking down at the lobby and breakfast area of the hotel.

The outdoor courtyard area of the hotel.

Lunch was at another quaint little restaurant in the heart of Havana.  Like in all tropical countries, life happens outside.  The restaurant was situated in a beautiful open courtyard.  The meal was pretty standard fare for us - a selection of chicken or pork and rice dishes.

After lunch we loaded the bus for the revolution square, where many of Castro's speeches were made. Today you can go there and take a ride on the myriad taxis waiting for passengers.  As vehicle imports are scarce, you can find a lot of old American made cars from the 50's.  But if you look closely, you will likely find a Toyota engine or Hyundai steering wheel.

After the square, it was off to old Havana and some more site seeing.  I managed to find one last cappuccino before heading off to the airport.  Thanks for the great time Cuba!  Perhaps we'll meet again.
