Havana
Spent 2 nights in a seemingly nice hotel in Havana. got back to the hotel tired and ready for a sleep. First thing i noticed was the heat. The room was hot enough to cook, and worst of all the air conditioning. We turned it on to hear a loud reassuring whuur followed by a loud clank and smoke. The hotel staff being nice enough people removed the faulty machine leaving us with a nice big hole in the wall. So no aircon and a great big hole in the wall. This was in central Havana as well so there was a lot of noise, a man laughing thought the night and what appeared to be a drug deal going on my the entrance. I finally get some sleep only to be awakened by the sound of falling ceiling. We flew to a nice little island next day with a minor scratch.
