Wakes up at 8 am;

Walked along Malecon and took local bus (R11) to the Fort (Castillo de los Tres Santos Reyes Magnos del Morro) and back;
Checked out / Walked around Old Havana and Central Havana - Plazas , Cathedral, Capitolio Nationale etc.
Wanted to check out the Obscura but is closed till mid Jan >_<.
Had lunch at El Barrio Chino (Chinatown) right next to Capitolio. There are very few Chinese / Chinese restaurants at Chinatown. Had lunch at a 'Chinese' restaurant 'Felix Dorando'; I ordered Canton chicken combo (= soya sauce chicken, surprisingly good) and Ta had 'Hong Kong style fish fillet = fish fillet stuffed w shrimps?)
Walked along Calle Cuba to check out The Rafael Trejo - an open air training facility / gym for local boxing enthusiasts, but was closed for the day.
Rested a bit at the casa, and walked out to Vedado area for dinner. Rushed to (part of) Calle 23, known as La Rampa, just in time to have ice cream at Coppelia.
Dinner at Restaurant Waoo!!! Quite full after ice-cream, so only had snacks.
