View all the photos from Reykjavik We caught the red-eye from JFK to Reykjavik, Iceland. It’s around a five and a half hour flight that leaves at 8pm local time. You do the math. We arrived at 6am local time to a rough landing in driving wind and rain, a filthy dog of a day. […] Full set of images from NYC New York, a sophisticated and interesting city, seemed even more modern and organised after a month in Cuba. No more crumbling buildings and monotonous cuisine in the city where you can get great tasting food almost anywhere, anytime. That said, our accommodation was way worse in New York. After […] View the photos for Patzcuaro, Uruapan and Mexico City. I have sympathy for people who get lost in Mexico City. It’s the kind of place where every street seems to look familiar, there is sketchy sign posting and confusing street layout. The procedure when arriving at the airport is to go to an official taxi […] The Havana photo set is located here We didn’t get a really good look at Havana the first time around. Sure, we walked along the Malecon (a sea wall that stretches along the harbour front), we got scammed, had a nice dinner overlooking the fort and got an afternoon of Afro Cuban drumming across the […] View the full set of Vinales photos here Sarah has a rational fear of flying Cubana Air. They have an appalling safety record and have a fleet of Russian Yak planes, one of which was involved in the recent crash that killed Russia’s ice hockey team resulting in that type of plane being banned […] Full set of Santiago de Cuba photos here We arrived at the Bayamo bus station after a 90 minute taxi ride from the Sierra Maestra over typically rough Cuban roads with an hour before the Viazul bus arrived. Viazul is the tourist bus service, priced a little too high for the locals to use […] Full set of Bayamo and Sierra Maestra photos are here If you’re going to start a revolution in a very hot climate it makes sense to me to set up your base in the mountains. That’s sure as hell what I would do. No slogging it out on the hot plains for me, I would […] See the full set of Camaguey photos here The latest men’s fashion tip from Cuba, especially for those blessed with a beer belly, is to pull your shirt above the beer belly and wander around with your fat proudly displayed. In a hot climate this is imminently sensible but be sure to have a […] The full set of Trinidad images can be found here We arrived in Cuba desperately needing a break, which sounds odd after having a six week holiday through North America, but even just being a tourist can be tiring and those long days in the Californian National Parks took their toll. So rather than […] Full set of Havana photos are here Cuba immediately lived up to stereotypes. After being waved through immigration by incredibly glamorous customs officials we changed some money, bought a map and jumped in a taxi. The taxi got about ten metres from the airport before breaking down. We were not in some cool 50s Cadillac […] |
