One of the best things about Cuba was getting to enjoy it with friends from home. Our trip coincided with that of Georgia and Emily (Nat´s old flatmates from Sydney). We only had one night together, their first in Habana and our last, but we packed a lot in and managed to visit two of Hemmingways old haunts for Mojitos and Daquiris.

The night was also memorable for two other reasons. The first, while we were eating dinner, involved an impromtu magic show at our table which literally blew us away... almost perfect magic right in front of your face is incredibly impressive and left us wanting more. The second, was convincing a hotel to open its rooftop bar for us to enjoy a 360 degree view of Habana at night. While the staff were very accomodating, the elevator wasn´t quite up to scratch and left us stranded between floors. Scrambling over each other, after a night full of drinks, seemed very amusing at the time.

We finished the night by sampling one of the infamous Cohibas which received the thumbs up from the boys.
