Bus tour of Havana

 The following day we were both in good spirits as we took the tourist bus around the City, for 10 US dollars we thought it was a good price.

We left right outside the cruise terminal  and headed into the city.  Our first stop was outside the Anglettera hotel and beside it the very impressive Grand Theater of Havana Gran Teatro de La Habana “Alicia Alonso”



We then headed down the Malecon, this was a beautiful part of the ride, right along the seafront with the hair whipping through our hair and splendid views of the skyscrapers in the distance.





We then drove onto Revolution square, with its  huge monument and large murals of the revolutionary leaders.





Sadly this was about as good as the tour got as we then proceeded driving through the suburbs and residential areas and there was not much too see. We thought that the tour was well over an hour too long, plus the commentary is only in Spanish.







At around 3.00pm we left Havana's harbour and set sail for Cozumel in Mexico after enjoying a couple of days in this fascinating City.

That night we went to the show lounge to see the comedian  Scotty Miller.
