Watching sport abroad is fun. You get to see people at rest, and having a good time. And Cuba are the world's best at baseball.

When we were in Havana in December we went to see one of the early games of the National League. Industriales is Havana's big and very popular team. Their match schedule was available online and also in the daily paper. We asked our concierge how easy it was to get tickets, and he reckoned that it was only really a problem towards the end of the season.

All Cubans can get in for free, but we had to go to the foreigners' door and pay 3CUC each. This gave us seats in an enclosure guarded by a stern looking lady. The stadium is huge, and has the usual vendors climbing around offering food and drink.

One word of warning. There were NO taxis anywhere. We had to wait 30 minutes in a fairly deserted area of town. I got, probably needlessly, quite scared. I wished we'd asked our cab driver to pick us up.

We caught a taxi there, which cost about 10cuc from the centre;
