Day 1- landed Friday afternoon. Had my Airbnb host coordinate taxi pick me up from the airport $35. Taxi handed me off to the host at Airbnb for check-in. I told host in advance that I wanted to change $200 upon arrival (make sure you ask the rate in advance). I knew the exchange was around 375 so I wasn't taking anything less than 370. Got my 74,000 and started to unpack. I bought ziplock bags with random little goodies (chocolate, perfume, snacks, lotion, soap, jerky, tuna, toy, etc) and put 10000 pesos in each bag. Between the 10000 pesos and the supplies I would say each bag probably had about $40 usd of stuff that was easy to get in the states but cost a kidney to get here. For myself I had brought (2) 1 lbs packs frozen organic lean ground beef, some minute rice packs, some butter, pre-cooked bacon, some Dave's English muffins, some protein powder and electrolyte powder. Trying to continue my nutrition trend even when I travel. I went on the street and also picked up 10 eggs (100 pesos each), some random veggies, and got sodas and beers for the chicas (2000 pesos total) and some water bottles for myself.

Hit the street around 6 pm to start getting my steps in after sitting all day traveling. Did the normal circuit San-raf / Prado / malecon. Saw plenty of chicas give the look. Got approached by 2 that were decent- black chick with really cute face but that looked like she might be 3-4 months pregnant, and another chick high yellow skin tone cute face but had a gap in her front teeth. I gave them my WhatsApp in case I didn't find what I wanted but explained to them that I won't hit them up till later back in my casa when I have WiFi.

I hit my step count and waited till around 8 pm when San raf started to pick back up. Saw this beautiful dirty blond flaquita. She was the kind of skinny that you would find on runways modeling but that some might say is too thin by obese American standards: the. I said Hello, to her and asked her if she wanted to come to the casa, of course she says yes. She had great personality and conversation. I ask her how long she can stay she says midnight which gives us 3 hours of fun. We take a warm shower together, her hands and lips all over me. We take it to the bedroom. She is very oral and responsive. Asks me if I want to use a condom, I say nah she says ok without hesitation, mounts me with her tight wet snapper and proceeds to ride me the way Cuban chicas do. Like she trying to fuck me through the bed and through the floorboards. I got to hold on to her tooth pick arms to get her to slow down. She didn't seem strong but the way she popped that pussy and was grinding on me it's like she transformed from princess Diana to Wonder Woman. After 15 minutes or so I finish inside her and we lay there talking and watching YouTube videos waiting to start round two. For round two I get on top this time and go to pound town. Her pussy so good I'm thinking about starting a family down here. But thankfully younger me had big brain and was smart enough to get a vasectomy 8 years ago. We say our goodbyes and I give her a gift bag as thank you for rocking my world. After a long day I immediately fall asleep in my air conditioned casa with a smile on my face.

I'm also leaving on Tuesday.

I'll be rolling through this weekend. Going to try to maximize that CPN!

Nice!! I'm stuck living vicariously through you guys. I'm hoping to be able to do a boys' trip out there in Sept. Very slight chance though.

I'll be here till Tuesday. Quick trip but I'll be back in early July as well.

Lucky you!! Have a great trip. Can't wait to read all about it. How long are you going for?

Day 1:

So I touch down around 10:30 AM, smooth trip. There's a pretty chill non-pro that I've hanging out with so I had my trusted "airport" taxi pick her up from her place and then come get me from the airport. After that he took us to my Airbnb - $40 total for that. Airbnb is in Vedado right off Calle 23 (La Rampa).

Now it's time to change money. I hit up my connect at Papi Rey to see if they were exchanging today, no answer. So I go back to the basics (Check my "Day 1" post from January) and find another guy to exchange money with in the telegram group for Havana money exchange. He says he'll give me the 370 rate plus he delivers. Nice. He comes over and exchanges $400 for me. I get back 148 K pesos. Now we're ready.

I grab a La Nave over to Old Havana and get 9 various cigars from Cohiba Atmosphere ($92). Excellent selection. Keep in mind that CA only accepts dollars. Anyway, after that we eat at Lo De Monik. Nice Atmosphere, pretty good food and prices. 2 beers, 2 waters, Piña Colada, Ceviche, Tostones, Grilled chicken, rice and yuca - 10 K pesos ($27). Feeling good. La Nave over to Imperial barbershop and get a fire haircut for 1900 pesos ($5). They always do a great job.

Now I'm ready to go out. It's Thursday so obviously it's Pazillo Bar night. Head over to Pazillo and it's packed. If you're here on a Thursday, Pazillo is an excellent choice. Arrive before 10:30 if you plan on sitting / eating. If you're just there to drink and hunt down some non pros, arrive whenever. Beautiful women from wall to wall. Shooting fish in a barrel if you know some Spanish. No, actually, it's like shooting fish in a freezer. They close at 3 AM and stay packed all the way to the end.

After getting absolutely shitfaced in Pazillo, we head over to Cafe FM (burger and Milkshake joint open 24 hours) and get some burgers, Croquetas, more beer, 7 K pesos ($18.91). Nothing crazy quality wise but it's a decent burger and great when you're sauced at 3 AM LOL. After that, La Nave back to the crib and pass the fuck out. Excellent, excellent Day 1. Let's see what Day 2 has in store.

Currently seeing maximum exchange rate of 375 CUP per 1 USD and 395 CUP per 1 EURO. These rates are pretty for those traveling to Cuba using USD and EUROS.

Templo and Pazillo are generally going to have non-pros because they aren't "tourist hotspots".

Pazillo does this thing every Thursday with discounted drinks and things like beer pong or other games. I'm on the younger side so these things appeal to me. It's a good place to start the night and vibe. A warm up / pre-game spot so to speak.

Templo tends to have a concert every Wednesday and it's a nice setup to meet people when it's full.

Yesterday I just went to la zorra why el cuervo, easy night.

I will try Templo tonight, and pazillo tomorrow. Are those spots a mix of pros and regular singles?

[Manic Mt]

Tuesdays are tough for the club scene so I'm not going to pretend like I know where to go. However, if you're just looking for a pro, check out V&S after 11 PM. As for Wednesday, Templo Bar for sure. Thursday, start off with Pazillo Bar after like 8 PM and end the night with either Hola Habana (Pazillo is great on Thursdays so you may opt to just stay there, YMMV).

I'm currently in La Habana as well, and I can confirm what you've mentioned. I took a walk along Rafael, spent some time in centre Habana unfortunately, I found very little in terms of quality.

I'm considering going to a club, but I'm unsure which one to choose for a Tuesday night.

Recommendations are more than welcome. I'm primarily looking for quality, even if it comes at a slightly higher price. Thank you.

Hello brothers in crime!

I spent whole day walking in Old Havana. And to be honest I met some streetwalkers, but they were all not in good shape.

Like cheap street walkers everywhere.

Any tips for Havana Vieja? Or is it better to take a walk more into newer parts of city?

Hey bro!

Any update on your time in Havana?

I asked taxi drivers I got through La Nave. One of them took me to Johnny bar and then to Presidente Hotel. Both were duds. Hopefully, will have a better time today.


Here's a recap.

I went to El Tablazo for dinner yesterday. Food was nice, place is very lively. Everyone was in a group or a pair so I doubt any chance of picking up.

Then made the trip to FAC to find it was closed. Made a mistake of letting my taxi go. Asked other taxi drivers there and no one knew why it was closed. Another taxi driver recommended Hotel Presidente and quoted 10,000 mil to take me there. Politely declined and walked to the nearest street corner and ordered a cab via La Nave.

New driver recommended Johnny club. A dud, then took me to Presidente Hotel. I walked in and was told that they have a lounge bar. There was no one there. So another dud. Had asked the taxi to wait in anticipation of this situation. He then took me to Salon Rojo. Paid 1000 Cup entry fee and sat nursing a poorly made Cuba libre. There weren't many people there so finished my drink and left. On the way out asked if I can come back, was told I can come back in 15 mins else I will be at the back of the queue and pay 1000 cup again.

Walked over to La zorra y El cuervo and it was packed. It is a small place with a jazz band playing / singing. There is a 1000 cup entry here too. As there was no place to sit, stepped out and walked over to Cabaret Turquino. Seems like a popular place as it had a long queue to get in. I waited and when my turn came was told that it is a card only place, no cash. Fuck! Had not brought my cards with me, only cash. The mesero said no. So walked out and back to my casa and slept off the first night.

I won't say I am not disappointed but accept that it is what it is.

BTW, girls on Badoo do not respond at all. I have sent messages to like 100 girls and perhaps 8-10 have replied. Maybe it is me. My profile, my message, i am on free version, and perhaps my poor spanish. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.

Today morning went to El Bilky for breakfast, good coffee here. Then took the Havana Club Ron Museum tour - highly recommend. Then walked to La Floridita bar to see what the fuss is all about Ernest Hemmingway. Nice band was playing. Downed a daiquiri and did the long walk down san Rafael to my casa in vedado. Hopefully,with King Santo's recommendation today evening may be different.

Nah, I can't get PM's yet because I'm too lazy to send the $25 in an envelope; I'll get to it one of these days. Maybe when I send the $50 into the consulate for my Visa. Two birds one stone.

Anyway, I'm in my late 20's and had a fucking ball. Not in my 30's yet but it's close enough. Read the forum and you'll be fine. My Spanish is really, really good though and that does make a difference.

Still, you'll be fine without it. Just do some due-diligence before you go.

Let us know how was hunting!

I will visit Havana next week, anybody there in that time to hang around?

KingSanto any chance to send you PM?

How do you see chances for good looking European in mid 30's to get lucky in Havana?

Nevermind with pro or non-pro.
