Then to complete the evening we picked up the biggest chocolate cake ever from the local shack in the market square that Chris (DJ we met organised earlier in the week for us) (amazing they have choc cake her too!) and a few cheeky Cuba Libres back at the ranch.

I don´t really understand much of what she says and I tell her I´ll go even though I have no idea where it is or what it is. But I´m pretty tired and cashed out and I decide to not go out out tonight. I want to get up early tomorrow and do some cultural ****. I have taken 6 flights in 7 ...
