The "Taco's & Toucan's" Trip
Hotel Royalton
Monday April 15th, 2019
We got in to our accommodations at the Hotel Royalton where after getting squared away, we dined in their restaurant and then headed out to the local square - Parque Carlos Manuel Céspedes, where there was a street concert taking place.
Here we are standing in the street, sipping on $1.25 USD Crystal cerveza’s when it was my round in the shout. I grab a ½ dozen beers and ask about the cost of a Cuba Libre (rum & coke) for one of the group and was informed that it was $3 USD. Being the ½ smartarse that I am, I asked as to the cost of the entire bottle of Havana Club 3 Años was - $5 USD was the barmen’s response. I grabbed a full bottle and a can of Cuban Coke - tuKola, for an extra 50 cents and wandered back out to the town square – job sorted. 
In the interests full disclosure and impartial testing, I felt a shot or three of the Cuban “Vitamin R” was in order and found it to be a rather smooth tipple, that you could get to know on an immediate & intimate level quite easily. It’s a whole lot better than that Queensland cane cutters cordial – Bundaberg Rum.
