Havana November 2018 – Hole In The Wall – El Laurel – Seafood And Fauxhibas

11 Dec

This place is out in Jaimanitas – I had heard about it but so far preferred the usually excellent seafood dishes at both nearby Santy’s and Marea. It’s been opened for many years now and I always wanted to try it. This time it was by pure chance that we ended up having lunch there Read more…

Havana November 2018 – Cooking, Outfitting And Meditating – The Crazy Chefs

9 Dec

Yes, it was Chris meditating barefoot on the railway tracks again … 🙂 Lucky for him there are only a few trains a day passing on that line. It was the last part of my trip and it continued more or less as usual so far, only that now it was more Michelin-Star-like meals – Read more…

The facts, as I remember them, are of being almost a month in Havana having fun, meeting friends, having Read more…

Havana April 2018 – Cigars At The Vatican And Bourbon By The Pool

8 May

Ed had arrived just as we finished the El Laguito visit last February and Christian had never been inside the cigar Vatican yet – so it was a great pleasure to be given the chance to visit the most iconic and famous cigar factory yet again. It was also a pleasure to meet Maria again Read more…

Havana April 2018 – Eight Crazy Days With Some Meditation

5 May

It started crazy enough already in Germany before even getting to Havana…. Christian arrived early in the morning the day before our departure to order some two hundred bottles of wine from Weinmann, a famous local winemaker here in the village. We did that first, then packed our Cuba suitcases for a late check-in and Read more…
