Cuba Photos

---

The couple of posts that we put up on our trip through Cuba were a little short on photos and, I have to admit, even shorter on photos of quality. We have now sorted out some software to try to rectify the situation; and select and sort out some more photos. Although we had to wait a while to get internet access, the photos are finally here.

Heading Up the Highway
Mid-morning near Australia de Cuba. More deserted than the Stuart Highway.

Monday Morning Traffic, Cienfuegos
Going to work by public transport.

Monday Morning Traffic, Santiago
Plenty of variety in transport.

Old and new

Street Light Poles at Bayamo

Dome at the Museo de Revolucion
In Havana. Used to be the Presidential Palace.

Billboard
Quite a few around, but none are commercial advertisements.

Havana Railway Station
Not an extensive rail system here.

Behind the myriad flagpoles and flags
is the building housing the Centre for American Interests (the embassy when you don't have an embassy). Apparently there is a Cuban counterpart in New York City.

On the Malecon
Some tourists wandering along

Taking a break
Touristing at museums can get tiring

Still Going 1
Most of them do not have the original motors.

Lost anything??
We do not find cleaning out cars an enjoyable task & never save it for a Sunday morning!! However, if we did then Peter may have found what appears to be one of your Cannon camera lens covers under a seat, presumably from our trip around Llangollen. Have you missed it. Is there anywhere we can send it? Let us know. Thanks for e mail that let us know you were safe and still on the road. Thoroughly enjoyed reading all the recent blogs. Cuba rang a lot of bells. The birthday celebrations in particular. On one occasion a group, Mum daughter, dresser, photographers x2 brought a basket of pidgeons to send into the air for photgraphic enhancement of the occasion. A clapper was used to send them into the air and grain to encourage them to land on the area around and on the daughter!! Enjoy and good luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lost Something
We did wonder where that one went. Not an issue though. Pat was convinced to trade in that lens a few weeks later. Replaced by a single lens that does everything. They are easy to lose so no doubt there will be a Canon person around you sometime who is cursing having lost one and you can make them happy. We talked to a few people who had children who were recently 15 and they were still quivering with the cost. One, whose daughter was to be 15 in a few months reckoned he would be broke now until she married.

I maybe that person
I have a Canon camera that the cover fits, so maybe it knew it was going to be traded and wanted to stay in Wales!!!! Your photo's are just great, so amazing to think you can improve on them Pat. Just made and eaten some pasties. Peter is smiling and I'm off to play badminton to get rid of the calories!!!! Cheers from Windy Wales

Canon Wandering
Enjoy it - until it disappears one day. They should make a tie point for them. Be prepared to bet that Wales is still beautiful. What's a bit of wind?

Lovely car photos
I have enjoyed reading blogs in chronological order. Photos of old cars are too good. Thanks.
