Translation of Apfelkuchen

Since it had no wind and no turbulences at all we landed right on time. I had an entire afternoon until my connection to Havana and decided to spend it in the duty free shops, or in the restaurants.
I saw the game. After the amazing pre-match ball shot I was so excited I could not fall asleep for 2 hours. The Eurosport commentator said: 'So what is his next trick? Walking home on the Hudson river?'
One could see the animals from a distance. There were sea lions, whales and penguins, all very far away. In the evening we went on a boat for whale watching which was a really great experience.
