just one week in varadero with a day trip to havana, we were there about 14 yrs ago and wanted to see if there was much change with the advent of tourism, the answer in a nutshell is no, the hotel staff are better off because of tips etc but the rest are still the same, still great for photos though

Cuba is on my list too. I like the contrasts and colour.

When I was in Jamaica earlier this year we got chatting to a couple from NY and they said they were amazed when their pilot told them to look out of the windows as they were flying over Cuba. They didn't think they were permitted to fly over Cuba but I explained, as a former pilot ......... US aircraft can fly over Cuba but they are forbidden to crash into it :lol:

We shared many cocktails during that holiday.
