To make it a more logical walk, we headed out in a planned route starting at one place then going to all the others along the way to the canal then back around and back towards the hotel. The first place we went to was a place called Bar Monserrate, a good start, it had a couple of locals in, friendly staff, great Mojitos, good food, and wasn't too touristy even though it was right next to the main square with all the hotels on it. Frank had brought some Italian cards for me, this is good because it will give us something to do when we get bored, something to do in a bar whilst we are waiting for one thing or another. I hadn't played the cards for so long but got into it really quickly again and thrashed Frank. After Bar Monserrate we moved on down the main touristy street with all the bars and restaurants on, it was tourist central, everywhere you looked, there they were. With it being so touristy it also meant for a lot of the very poor local where out on the streets trying to rip people off with scams or just generally trying anything to get even the slightest amount of money out of them. Most of the bars down here looked a little bit crap, well, they were empty and basically all looked the same, same food, same drink, just worse staff and empty. The restaurants were more pricey and it was the same food they were serving, even at night these places were relatively dead, Bar Monserrate always had a few different groups of people in it, so was never dead, mainly because of this, it being so close to our hotel and the food tasty really nice and good value, we made it our local. We checked out this restaurant/bar that was apparently a regular of Ernest Hemmingway but it was just a complete and utter tourist trap, very similar to J.Cruz in Valparaiso, Chile. We were both pretty drunk now and it wasn't much after lunch, we carried on though, Frank used his usual excuse of 'being on holiday' to make it seem better, not that it was right or wrong, all I know was that it was fun.
