Had breakfast at Hostel at 7:30 am. Nice view at the courtyard.
Cambio opens at 8:30 am, so headed over to stand in line for money cambio.
Rented bikes (9:45 am) and rode to Cueva del Indio.
Visited Cueva del Indio, which includes a short motorboat ride.
Rita is not a big fan of biking, so headed back shortly and returned bike at 12:15 pm.
Shopped Souvneir (cigar, coffee) at Caracol Casa
Had lunch at El Eden (Pollo de la Cuba and Lamb de la Cuba) - unexpectedly yummy food
Took Collectivo Taxi to Havana, and dropped off luggage at Casa Orlando (Central Havana), which we booked online. The casa (building) looks kind of worn down at the exterior, but nice inside. Also, it is right by the Malecon, and has nice views once windows are opened. Host family invited us to join them for NY dinner.
Walked around Plazas at Old Havana and had dinner at neighborhood.
Returned to casa at 10-ish pm and celebrated New Year evening at Casa w Host Family and their friends. We danced / watched them dance to music and had fun. Super warm.
