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!

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.
