The city of not so delightful smells...Havana

After a restful nights sleep we ventured out into Havana after we met a local lady who was genuinely friendly (and who was also a neighbour of the owner of the Casa). She was kind enough to help us find a new, more central Casa in Centro Habana and we then wandered the streets and started to take in present day Havana.

To describe Havana in a few short words, lets say...
Smelly - lots of erm, lovely aromas
Alive - the Cuban passion for life, music, dancing and rum
Hustling - many Cubans are trying to make some extra dollars
Backwards - an economical split in society has taken shape and is growing
