Travel blog of Toby and Nicole. The plan is: First one month in France, then we fly into Mexico City, make our way down south through the continent, hop over to Cuba along the way and fly out of Sao Paulo 11 months later.

Museum of the Revolution

I shared a taxi to the City Center with Damion, a frenchman, I met at the Viazul bus station. We ended up staying in the same Casa Particular and walked around Habana together.

I then went to visit the Museo de la Revolucion by myself which after the bus ride and the museum visit the previous day was a bit too much for much. Still very interesting though and some cool artifacts on display there, like the original Granma yacht that Fidel, Raul and Che, inter alia, came across to Cuba on from Mexico, as well as the turbine of the U2 spy plane that the Cubans shot down during the Cuban Missile crisis.

In the evening we stumbled across some people making music in a house where we were invited in and I witnessed Cuba at its best, people coming together, making music, with some old people that were dancing, etc... it was quite magical (apart from us somehow being asked to pay for the performance half way through which ended up not doing though thanks to some locals being with us and I still enjoyed the evening afterwards).
