¡Ya estamos aquí! y Cuba esta hermosa...

Hidyho, friends and relatives, esteemed public.

We have arrived, after the ususal 26 hour flight marathon, on the worlds last smoker airport. You´re going to need those cigarrettes, too, because the baggage claim is comparable to a ... well, baggage claim, as seen in any south american bus station. One guy handing out luggage, placing it on the floor, stacking more luggage on top of that...
Also a good feature: Three security cameras at the immigration control desk, two of them co-angular...
But well, all´s well, we arrived in Havana vieja, and we currently live in the most beautiful house this city ever had. www.renthavanahome.com
Mercy, our host, is very nice and likes to chat, a wonderful situation for your humble thaelmann.

Currently we´re trying to get some cuban SIMs so we can phone around the clock... not sure how long this will take, as there´s a block-wide cue, and we´re in the middle of it. Met a argentino-bolivian guy who´s a bit flabbergasted by cuba, just as much as we are..

By the way, our trusty HF11 works like a charm, and no one cares what we do with it. Yay for commercial toy products that actually produce well-enough-for-youtube pictures!

cheers from havana,
-thaelmann- (for the whole nueva vista team)
