Where have you been?

Cuba

Have you been before?

Yes, 15 years ago.

Were there notable differences?

There were many changes, on arrival I noticed so many modern cars as taxis. Lots more restaurants and shops in Havana and Trinidad. I remember being shocked at the complete lack of shops for locals when I first visited, now there isn’t a lot more, but many more tourist shops.

Flew with Air France via Paris.

How long were you there for?

11 days

General route?

Starting off with a few days on the beach in Jibacoa then onto Havana, Viñales, Santa Clara and Trinidad then back to Havana.

Which was your favourite?

Place: Trinidad and Havana both battle for first place.

Hotel: Hostal Madero in Havana.

Excursion: Classic car tour in Havana.
