We arrived groggy and tired after a long flight, made even longer by Scott’s instance that we go out to the airport 10 hours early. Honestly! I think he was concerned that the airport was a fair distance out of Havana, it isn’t, but we did end up with a very educational tour of at least three different airports… first off the taxi driver dropped us at a small busy blue building ... read more

I’m not sure why he did it, im not sure what possible reason he could have for doing it, im not sure he even thought about the consequences of his actions, but dear reader, he did it, he shaved his legs. Let me take you back to the start of the day, I had awoken from my beautiful peach schnapps (as mentioned before, this was not the description I had used when discussing it wit h the lads) and still had the faint moment before your awake dream, that I would awake in a big double bed with a beautiful lady next to me, the African heat pouring through my windows and fresh coffee already brewed.
