Walked into old Havana and got money changed finally after trying at 2 banks I found out it's done at the Casa de Cambio. Then wandered down and got another cold chocolate from the chocolate museum. Walked back to the central plaza and got on the hop on, hop off bus and went for a tour around the city. Got off at revolution square and had a look around at the Che and Fidel portraits on the walls and the Jose Marti memorial. Had to wait for about an hour for the bus to come back around to pick me up. Then continued the tour of the city. Got off at the central plaza again and walked down the pedestrian street towards the Malecon. An older man came and spoke to me for about an hour about Australia and some of the problems in Cuba. He even showed me his ration card. Whenever the police came past he would stop speaking and put his head down. I found out later that the locals arn't allowed to talk to the locals because the government thinks they might tell the tourists about all the problems in Cuba and we are not supposed to know that there are problems.
