H is for Havana
In 1999, we made our only trip (so far) to South America, and stayed a few nights in Havana on the way. It’s a beautiful, if run down, city with very friendly people – for example, the guy with the lorry load of fruit who spotted us drinking tea on a balcony above, and the nice young driver of one of the classic 50s taxis we rode in. As you can see, it broke down – but we got to our destination in the end!

I didn’t mention that the water kept going off! I’d love to go back, but I think I’d investigate whether the infrastructure had improved first.

Yes, I wish we could have spent longer there. It was just a couple of nights either side of the main trip.

I love the photo of the guy throwing an orange it’s those kind of things that make a holiday.

It was a very lucky shot! And we made some lucky catches too.
