Sights and sounds, colours and Cubans

Today, we walked round the corner from the rented apartment to the National Hotel and had the first (of what became a few!) breakfasts there. After an ample selection of fruit, eggs and .... Spam (tinned ham, in case any 20-somethings are reading this!), we made our way towards the imposing foyer. Then, ignoring the offers from the concierge of a pink Cadillac for a taxi (think: millions of Cuban pesos or a couple of hundred U$D/€uros), we got a taxi and started a lengthy walk around the capital before catching the circular bus (dozens more pictures) and seeking shade!
