Re photo 25, weren't you at least a little nervous taking a picture of those guys doing a drug deal? Seems like Chevys are their favorite. It must have been fun taking "pictures of the past' like that.
 
Incredible photos. That green convertible Chevy, in the row of three convertibles, wow, that's my pick.
 
Help! I can't see Cuba for the cars. I see that Mrs. K let you buy a cigar. Did she let you smoke it?
 
Great pictures. Thanks for posting. They make me want to go there before it gets changed too much.

Heh, purely a prop, supplied by our driver. The smell of cigarette and cigar in the hotel (yes, you can still smoke at the bar and in the lobby of even the top hotel in Cuba!) was driving me crazy! As I keep saying to Alison, even though I've completely given up not, there'll never be a point in my life when I won't want a cigarette. It's far too ingrained.

Apparently, there are something like 60,000 old American cars still in Cuba. Out in the countryside, the preferred mode of transport if horse and cart, but there are still old cars being used in the middle of nowhere by farmers.

When out of the hotel around Havana or anywhere else on the island, even on excursions, take a toilet roll, or a large amount of loo paper with you. There is NO bog roll in ANY public toilet, and in many bars, in Cuba. Instead, you'll usually find a woman sat on a chair just outside the entrance handing out a couple of sheets to people going in, and which you are supposed to tip her for on the way out. Honestly, how comfortable would you feel saying "nope, gonna need waaay more than that babe!"
 
You should share with her your subliminal slip "even though I've completely given up not".
