Hello over here... how are cyclists getting up today?

_{Havana's Vedado neighbourhood}

I came to tell you a little bit about my day yesterday when I decided to pedal to solve some pending issues.

The first thing I did was to go to my ex-job to pick up my employment file. Finally the people in charge of organising all the information had it ready and when I called to find out how much longer it would take, they told me that I could come by any day to pick it up.

I wasted no time...

Once there, I emptied my locker and donated some books I had to the journalism school which is right next to the building where I used to work.

Not always, but I often use Strava to at least know how far I ride my bikes. It doesn't work very well for me, as it's paid and I have the free version (I think), or maybe I forget to pause it when I stop and that's why the data is not correct. For example, I have noticed that the average speed decreases.

Maybe later on I'll put a cyclocomputer on the road bike, although the best ones are quite expensive here.

Of course, there are cheaper ones but I don't know if they are reliable.

Afterwards I went to the Havana neighbourhood of Vedado and wandered around a few places, taking photos, strolling around, taking advantage of the fact that I am unemployed now... Lol. Well, it's not quite like that, I'm still doing my extra jobs that I had before I applied to leave that government employment.

In yesterday's post I showed some pictures taken with my Panasonic Lumix G10 camera.

This one I took with my mobile phone right in front of a hamburger spot, as I was already hungry at that time. I hadn't had lunch... I had only had a more or less decent breakfast when I left home.

I know the burgers and shakes there are good because I've been there before, and note that the smell at the entrance makes you smile. 👀

But I didn't go into that place. I had no way to put my bike near me and I preferred not to risk it. So I decided to cycle to the Malecón. I wanted to have a close encounter with the sea... and along the way I found a place, near the Paseo Avenue and the Hotel Cohiba.

I was struck by the fact that it is a place under construction but they have a cafeteria where they offer croquettes, pizzas and drinks. I went in.

I thought there was no stopping these people. Surely in the future this will look different, but in the meantime they build and sell at the same time. It seemed good to me and also because I could have my bike next to me.

I ordered a pizza... usually that's what I prefer to eat if I get hungry on the street. I had a juice in my backpack and this time it wasn't so frozen that I couldn't drink it.

In addition to my two-wheeled friend, I was accompanied by the Jägermeister logo at this lunch. But I've only just discovered that now... I was curious until now what that image could be.

I thought that as soon as I finished eating, as well as going to see the sea, I could try to get a little something tasty for my cat Yin.

It turns out that the poor guy has been convalescing for two days. I don't know what could have happened to him.

I don't know how to deal with these things because it's a cat that suddenly appeared in my house. I have already told you here, in Hive, his story and how our relationship has improved... it is a stray cat.

This video contains sensitive images.

YIN 👈

As you can see, I helped him.

And I was also able to get these sardines? at a fishing base. They sold me about two and a half pounds for 500 CUP ( US$1.50).

Yin had a nice dinner last night. And he looks better already. That amount of fish I bought gave me enough to prepare a few packets of food that I think will last him until the middle of next month. I kept the fisherman's contact to go and get more later.

This was the trip back home. So, I covered almost 22 km yesterday.

I found this graffiti going up 24th Street towards the 23rd.

Finally, I want to share with you this view from 24th Street, above the Linea Avenue tunnel.

Look forward to more images and stories from this ride. It was really quite entertaining and especially on the Malecón part, also known as the giant sofa of Havana.
