Alexis and I had decided that it would be a good idea for me to have the morning free to breakfast at leisure, shower, relax, and grab a quick nap. So, we decided to meet in the lobby at 3pm to go to Old Havana or Habana Vieja. We took a collective taxi to the Capitolio and then went around by bicitaxi/bicycle taxi. Orlando was our driver for a few hours. He charged 10 CUC, which is equivalent to $10.00 U.S. He did have to work hard because it was hot and he had to peddle two adults, with one of us being heavier must have felt like three adults to him. He was a lovely young married man with a son.

We saw the many beautiful sights of Old Havana. I will not describe of post a photo of all because you can easily google them and/or watch them on YouTube.
Here are some photos of the first hour or so…..various means of transportation - coco taxi, bicitaxi, and collectives.
