The next morning we had breakfast, it was a buffet, much better than the continental breakfasts I have been used to. There were fruits, cereals, sweet pastries, vegetables or sorts and some meats, plus there was a chef at hand to cook up some eggs any way you chose them to be cooked, I didn't care to much and would settle for simply fried sunny side up or an omelette or something, Frank was a little more picky and had the eggs fried on both sides. As he is a vegetarian he didn't have the luxury of enjoying he hams and other lovely processed meats, he had to settle with a plate full of potato croquets and eggs with a bit of rice and black beans on the side. The breakfast was of the 'all you can eat' sort so it was an opportunity to save some money on food so we stuffed our faces in the mornings eating as much as we could handle without getting too uncomfortable.
After breakfast, I went back to the room, had a shower and got dressed, Frank went to the bar downstairs to have some coffee and I was to join him after. In about half an hour I met him in the bar and he had already had two glasses of Havana Club 7 year old, and I joined him for another, bearing in mind it was only about 09.30am. We had set a precedent for the day so it was only right that we continued to drink. We went back to the room to look in the guide and on the map for all the bars and restaurants in the surrounding area, we marked down on the map the ones that looked or sounded good. Once we had pretty much exhausted all the information in the guide we set out on our journey around Havana.
