I had an amazing vacation with my family at Cuba. We stayed a few days in La Habana and a couple of days in Varadero. The beaches were amazing, the food was good. In general it is a good place to relax.

I finally managed to get to Cuba. We stayed in the south east near Holguin at the Occidental Grand Playa Turquesa. The country was fantastic and everyone was so friendly and helpful but if it is sun you are after don't go in January/ February as this is the coldest time of the year there with mimimal sun and scattered showers.

Plan is to arrive early evening, Taxi / cycle from airport into town, to St. John's Hotel, early night.

im packing up and leaving home again after just 6 months of working. first stop is peru

From north to south, Havana to Santiago de Cuba, amidst the decaying buildings, propagandizing billboards and food stores with empty shelves there is one thing in Cuba which are always in full supply: Jineterismos! Everywhere you go in Cuba, you'll see Western men, laden with shopping bags an…
