Cuba and America.











many times you take a picture in Cuba its impossible not to capture America as well. Obviously now we would call these cars Cuban, and rightly so, some many Cuban man hours have gone into keeping cars with no spare parts running for so many years.
Most of your average Cubans want to see America back with open arms, and from what I saw its almost a 'cool' statement to plaster stickers of the apple logo on your car windows, or dress in the stars and stripes.

VS Cuba



A little out of order, this is the second visit to Havana, but I wanted to put my favorite image on-the-line.

The cubans call it old.











Trinadad- beautiful town, thanks to tourism, rich, welcoming and beautiful. More pics later. Thats enough for now.

Cienfuegos











Chill in the city, enjoy the bay, there are no real beaches to enjoy but some nice food and classic city slicking. Sit on the main street at night and watch the Cubans walking by.

More small (tourist) town.







Vinales














Come on! what do I need to say? Horse ride into the sunset, swim in a muggy lake, climb through caves visit tobacco farms and drying house (and smoke cigars with the farmers) and enjoy country Cuban life.

Say no More.


The view from home.

The view from my Casa particular in Havana- your home away from home while in Cuba, the cheapest and friendliest and most helpful places to stay.

Havana Town.








Everybodys first port of call in Cuba, and A great way to dive in at the deep end. Get ripped off by a taxi (should cost 20 CUC from airport to ANY address in Havana, as always, check price before you get in the Cab) then proceed to be pestered by guys on the street offering you everything from second rate cigars (always shop in a certified cigar shop) to many types of drugs, (don't do drugs) as well as the 'best' restaurants in town (find the non government owned and leave 10% tip).
Also
Fall in love and enjoy the busy city while sitting on a curb with a drink of rum or cigar or coffee. Get your cloths saturated in the fumes from cars that should have been scrap metal 40 years ago. Enjoy having your journey ahead of you.

Cuba.







Well, not much time on the internets so just a quick bunch of pictures from Cuba. Soon I will find a real computer and upload some better pics for you viewing pleasure.
