Monday October 13 Carmen del Playa to Havana

Flight good, relatively short, and uneventful. At the Cuban customs was very interesting - through one by one, stern unfriendly faces, Brian's Visa did not work so he needed to buy another one prior to departing from Cancun airport, close inspection face to face. There was a locked door from the cubicle to the main airport area, which only the inspector could release after he was satisfied. Judy' door would not open, even after several attempts. Boss was called who tried again, to no avail. Eventually (after about 10 tries) she was taken to another cubicle and the process was repeated successfully. In the meantime, Brian was anxiously waiting on the other side wondering what was happening.
Taxi waiting for us, transport to our hotel. Hotel quite satisfactory, with most facilities available. Our room even includes a small TV. It is right in the centre of Old Havana, and a fantastic spot where we can walk everywhere in the old town. Good sleep.
