Spent only about 4 hours here, but really could have happily stayed a few days...*Some photos here are a bit blurred, as they were taken through the buses' windows as I sped past! Pictures are on 2 pages, scroll down and onto page two to see them...
Quick trip over to Cuba - more to escape the grey, depressing downpours of an English summer than anything else...so much for saving towards my house in France...However, it was fun - colours, music, warm turquoise seas and best of all, the heat! Had wanted to stay on one of the islands, but realised that getting to Havana might then be problematic - according to Tripadvisor - so settled for the tourist mecca of Varadero - a place that in the past, I emphatically had no intention whatsoever of ever visiting!
But couldn't face the thought of Cuba without a city I'd always wanted to visit, so it was time for a huge compromise. And glad Kate and I did... It's early September now - and yes, it's a grey, rainy London day - but when I woke up this morning, my head was filled with random images of Trinidad, the crumbling facades of Havana's Old Town, and the milky warm sea of an island
Loved the calm and peace
in the town...no rush, just everyone strolling along at the end of the day we did manage to get to - Cayo Blanco...that's something priceless - work starts again tomorrow and I can't see the bottom of my garden because of the rainy mist...but there'll always be Cuba!
