General Impressions Arrived in Cuba on the 28th of September in the middle of the night. First introduction was the stern and smoking immigration supervisor standing behind his underling scrutinizing the chicca cina's passport and visa form.

This place was heaven for me as the cheapest food is peso pizza! People sell them from their front room using makeshift ovens and they cost 5 peso - 25 UScents! Unfortunately most other food in Cuba is less cheap - 8 to 12 USD per meal ex-alcohol. Solution... eat pizza as often as you like!

Boys hanging out playing drafts...

This game is popular in the streets and parks all over Cuba...

The library in Trinidad....

I found English books in here on a rainy day from the 1930s and 40s. One was about my home country Wales... an interesting read!

Lucky sods . . .
Hi guys, Reading your blog bought back those good memories of my trip to Cuba back in 2003. All those friendly people, great son, of course, the Mojitos - never bettered! You're lucky to get there before Fidel expires and the US ruins the place. Where next? I look forward to the next installment . . . J (sniffling from the first cold of winter in wet London day!)

It's like I was there!!!
Hey guys, those pictures you took were top notch. It felt like I was there myself. It's a bit sad to see that the faces of the locals are weathered and hardened by life's challenges. Looking forward to the next entry! More pictures!!! More more more!!!

Where are the cigars?
Hi San and Rich a.k.a. Chicca Cina and Grande Gringo, I'm enjoying reading your blogs and the pictures are great. You should consider publishing a coffeetable book of your trip around the world. My top 3 favorite pics in this blog are Classic Habana, Gordon the Gecko, and the Jellyfish. Looking forward to more stories and pictures.
