Im back from Cuba three weeks now so its about time I stuck these photos online as Ive had so many people asking me to do so.
I had an amazing 18 days traveling around Cuba with a friend of mine (ultan) and would really recommend it. Although Cuba is an extremely photogenic part of the world I really didnt go there to take lots of photos. I didnt even bring my big DSLR with me on the trip. All the photos here were taken with a compact rangefinder camera 'Fuji x100'. I think having this camera actually allowed me to get allot of photos I would never have got with a big bulky DSLR as it was so unobtrusive.
I was trying to learn Spanish on the lead up to the holiday but I really wish I had much more Spanish so I could have chatted with the locals more. Maybe next time though.
Havana
Vinales
One thing I loved about Havana was all the music on the streets. OK, allot of the time they were looking for money but apart from that the music was excellent.

Smoking a big cigar we got from a local farm earlier that day. Im pretty sure I coughed after this photo.

I looked happy enough in this photo but I was fairly suffering with a nice bit of sunburn on the back later that day.

I brought a bottle of Bushmills Irish Whiskey with me and it went down very well with the locals after a days trekking.

I really loved all the old cars that you see all over Cuba
We went to a small Island near Trinidad that was full of iguanas's.
