I like the composition of this.

You have captured some excellent shots. Was there any hostility towards you and the camera?

No, it was all very safe.

I've been following your posts about Cuba with interest. I love the way you have documented your trip. Did you organise it yourself or use a tour guide. We are thinking of going next year.

We organised it our selves. In terms of crime Cuba is very safe. If you have a 'resort' holiday you will get a very different experience. It can be quite a challenge day to day, but it is a fantastic place to visit. My wife was all set to come home after the first day, but now she wants to go back!

Hi Beagletorque, I hope it isnt too much to ask, my wife and I are thinking of going to Cuba but dont want a resort holiday, could you suggest places to stay, we are thinking of a two to three weeks holiday, did you stay in one place or did you perhaps change apartments/hotels, also did you find nice cafe/restaurants to eat. Any information about organising our own itinery would be most helpful, thanks in anticipation,Raymondo

P.S. I think that there will be quite a few oly users that would be interested in your general info and suggestions. thanks

Hi, thanks for the info that you have given and I will look forward to further info from you.
I am in the same situation as yourself, as I am a budget traveller and my wife is a little more particular. I understand that Cuba may not come up to western standards but if you want to visit places,you have to compromise and adjust your expectations.Having said all that, Cuba looks a very interesting and beautiful country to visit and photograph, and I think a few weeks without the internet wont be a problem(not to me anyhow) again I say thank you.

P.S. I am leaning to the lower end of accomadation prices that you quoted LOL.
