Rooftop Hangout with the locals
After lunch we will head out and hang like locals.
When it comes to hanging out, the Cubans do have a reputation! And most often than not, the best parties happen at home, when a random friend arrives with a bottle of any sort of rum, and the typical nibbles everyone loves are served. No planning, no fancy places, just friendship, fun stories, dancing and unmissable dominoes table.
We will meet at a rooftop restaurant where we will chat about our experience, eat, dance and talk to the locals about current affairs.
