Hello all - I've not been able to update my blog for a while, having spent a fantastic 10 days in Cuba. For 5 nights in Havana we wandered the beautiful crumbling streets to the soundtrack of countless live salsa and merengue bands playing outside restaurants, watching classic 50s American cars cruise by, sipping mojitos and daiquiris at the haunts of Ernest Hemingway.
Cliched, you may think, but the city really can be an enchanting and beautiful place (the term "faded glamour" is probably best used to describe it) provided you keep an open mind and are willing to explore. For the rest of the trip we were at a beach resort in Varadero on the Hicacos peninsula about 3 hours east, and I'd recommend such a trip to anyone.
