I feel like Cuba’s official slogan should be “in true cuban style”.
We started the day at the Museum de revolution which is toted as one of Cubas best museums. It certainly looks more like a museum than any museum I have been to so far, however in true cuban style there didn’t seem to be any sort of order to it. You would expect a museum covering the revolution from conception to the implementation to have some sort of chronological order to it, but its more like a jigsaw of events, artefacts and information from different battles and ending with the profiles of the famous guerrilla revoulutionaries… which you would expect to be at the beginning…
After doing some grocery shopping and cooking up some non-sweet pasta (the pasta served in Cuba is sweet for some unknown reason) we caught a taxi over the river to the Castillo De Los Tres Santos Reyes Magnos Del Morrow lighthouse to watch the sunset. We had read that the fort and lighthouse was open until 7pm, but in true Cuban style the lighthouse closed as we arrived at 5.30. The remainder of the fort remained open but sans lighting, so navigating required a lighter or some similar form of illumination and made it impossible to actually visit the museum part of it. We ale stuck around for the overcrowded canon firing ceremony which happens every night at 9pm.
