Happy 2014!!! Today I did something I swore I would never do again. Took a hop on, hop off tour bus around Havana. At 5am tomorrow morning we escape Cuba and fly to Panama via the Cayman islands . So we didn’t have to pay another night for a half night of sleep we decided…

These are some of the missiles from the Cuban Missile Crisis which almost lead to world war 3 back in the 1960’s. They are on display on a grassy hill behind the fortress and cheekily pointed toward the USA. For our last full day/night in Cuba we also ticked off the Chocolate Museum, Havana Club…

We started the morning with a good old fashioned Cuban line ride to use the internet. Then I set out to take photos in the back streets of Havana. We finished the day at a shooting gallery I came across the day before and then finally had an original sloppy joe where it was invented…

Today we endeavoured to order an original sloppy Joe at Sloppy Joes bar after accidentally ordering the wrong one the previous day, visit some of the museums we failed to visit yesterday, have a beer at the only micro brewery in Cuba.

So I guess its about time I post a photo which includes the iconic stencil graphic of Che Guevara. Unsurprisingly his image is everywhere in Cuba, on buildings, billboards, tattoos, shirts, hats, pins, currency, postcards etc. I really want to play a drinking game where you take a shot of rum every time you see…

I feel like Cuba’s official slogan should be “in true cuban style”. We started the day at the Museum de revolution which is toted as one of Cubas best museums. It certainly looks more like a museum than any museum I have been to so far, however in true cuban style there didn’t seem to…

Merry Xmas! I woke up feeling a tonne better today. Nothing much is open in Havana so we just wondered around the neighbourhoods to get our bearings in this huge city. In the evening we took a walk down a part of the famous Malecon sea wall and dodged the massive waves crashing over onto…

Last night I hired a bike from our taxi driver so I could ride around the valleys for my final day in Vinales. I visited most of the places we visited the day before in the taxi and went out to a big lake that I could see on the map. I ended up covering…

Our Taxi driver collected us at 10am and first took us out to Saint Thomas Cave, which is the biggest and most important cave system in Cuba and second most important in all of Latin America. St Thomas cave can only be entered with a guide as there are no set routes and no lighting…
