Pete was feeling a little bit off late yesterday so we decided not to make any plans and see what the new day brings.
Down to the buffet breakfast, the boys LOVE a buffet of any meal, we are not such fans.
After breakfast, we decided to hire another vintage car to take us to a few more of Havana’s main sights that we had not seen. A beautiful red 50’s Buick.
Across the city to see Funsterlandia (mosaic art by local artist Jose Fuster), past the coast, back to the Christ of Havana and then finish with the Morro Castle (a sea fortress at the mouth of the harbour).
Back to our room and a casual lunch around the pool.
Pete was still not feeling well and was grateful for a little bit of space and peace so that he could rest. I decided to take the boys to explore the Hotel Nacional and have a look at their beautiful gardens. As we were leaving the lights started to go out, ok, no problem. As we got to the lift they went out again. Umm, maybe the lift is not such a good idea.
We decided to take the stairs from our level 14 to the lobby, just in case. The housekeepers needed to let us through their secret door when we couldn’t find the exit.
As we got to the hotel entrance down came the rain, thunder, and lighting. Us poor Geraldton peeps got scared, we normally stay inside in this sort of weather.
And stay inside we did. The boys and I decided it was best to sit in the lobby bar and watch the world go by. I managed to keep the boys at bay for a few hours with one phone, two Fantas and a couple of champagnes (for me).
Finally, we decided that two and a bit hours was enough. I gave them the, “you must be quiet” drill and we went back to the room.
Pete was feeling a bit better but I am not sure if he will be well enough to take our day tour to Vinales tomorrow. Maybe a quiet rest day in bed all by himself will be exactly what he needs.
Dinner at the Italian Restaurant with the boys and myself, ready for our big drive tomorrow.
