Last but not least - Varadero ...

... riding in a 1954 Cadillac ...
 

... and then a 1959 one ...


... "enjoying" a concert at the Beatles ... with not so little alcohol ...


... the stormy weather clearly did not dampen our enthusiasm for the beach ...


Not much to say about Santa Clara ...

... except for the beautiful Che memorial and museum and some other revolutionary memorabilia ...



Trinidad ...

... we loved the city and the hike to the waterfall...



... ...but we adored our catamaran trip to Cayo Blanco ... and not just for the all-inclusive drinks ...


 
... amazing underwater life ...
 

... despite the presence of some (beautiful) jelly fish ...








Cienfuegos ... definitely not a highlight ...

... not a very pretty town ...



 
... the best things were away from it, in the botanical gardens ...





Vinales ... probably the best place in Cuba ...

... Tommy among some scantly dressed indigenous ...
 




... Ernst emulating Ernest ...


... down the St Tomas caves ...


... horse riding among the tobacco plantations ...





... cigars ... not really my thing ..



... but someone seemed to enjoy them ... ;)

More pics from Havana ...

... on the top of the Bacardi building ...



... Ernst trying to get hold of some rum ...


... and holding the ... eehhm ... beard of the caballero de Paris ...


... no comment on the one below ...


... the Eisenmanns in their new ride ... ;)
