The next morning, after another strong breakfast of fresh fruits, eggs, and meats, EC headed back to Parque Centrale in Habana Vieja to catch the bus to Playas del Este, a group of beaches 18 kilometers east of Habana. 

The bus headed through the Habana tunnel, which goes underneath the Habana harbor. 

Out of the tunnel and back out on the highway, the bus continued for  approximately another 40 minutes. The streetlights consisted of two upside down golf club-shaped poles crossing each other to form an "X."
