Enjoyed breakfast at rooftop of Hostel; 5 CUC
Solo quick City Walk in the morning
Managed to find another hostel (Hostel Zaida) within walking distance, nicer and cheaper w two beds. Turns out the Hostel is recommended by Trip Advisor.
Meet up Rita at 1:30 pm at Hostal Panorama, and we moved to the new hostel right away.
Had lunch at 'El Meson de Pepe' at Independence Blvd (Lobster w Black Bean Rice); 10 CUC
City Walk, Parque Videl, Che Mausoleum. Noticed a few locals playing the Cuban version of MJ (called Bingo?)
Tried local Helato (Chocolate, Naranja); 10 CUP ea
Dinner at 'Familia Restaurante' (Caramon, Pineapple n Ham Pizza, Fries. We misunderstood 'camaron' as 'calamari'. Turned out it was shrimp); 10 CUC
Went to Club Mejunje (Drag Show and Beer) for a drag show and befriended a local; Entrance Fee 2 CUC ea; Rita found the drag show boring (the singing was indeed a bit dull, and the drag queens were not attractive. Super pale performance compared to those in SF), and we left after an hour.
Headed to the park (only park with Wi-fi) to experience Xmas eve atmosphere, which was none.
Hostel Zaida (Lady w dog; on Trip Advisor); 25 CUC
