We’re finally in Cuba and Havana or La Habana as the locals call it… Before travelling to Cuba we had read about their money system (two different currencies, one for the locals and another one for the tourists) and the fact that they don’t have ATM’s in the country that …
When we left off last, we had just left Caye Caulker on our way to Belize City to catch a bus into Guatemala… When we booked the bus we were promised that it would be a big express bus (with toilet) that would take us on the five hour journey …
