Natscha organsied for a taxi driver to the beach and then three hours to the countryside to Vinales and to stay with her friends, Pepito and Millaisy who then organised the horse and cigar tour for us. <br /><br />Originally we were staying with a family in the old town but they had to cancel because of some family 'event" I think in the end you have to be quite flexible and go with the flow. The area where we stayed was Havana Centrale, not as pretty as Old Town but really only a short walk away.<br /><br />PS what is Thursday #igtravel?

The colors, and you have a great eye. You should Instagram a few on Thursday #igtravel. People would love them! What an adventure! Cannot imagine getting to do this. Love travel to spots like this. How did you stay with a family? Sounds like the right way to do it. The jungle area looks beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing this. I am with you. Totally agree about opening up trade. Ridiculous that so many of these folk have to struggle so much when we are so close. It's just wrong. Hoping Obama does something about this. x kimkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-30180250541946660712014-04-28T12:59:16.571-07:002014-04-28T12:59:16.571-07:00Yes if there is oil, would be differentYes if there is oil, would be differentAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-29078639470635340122014-04-28T12:58:42.971-07:002014-04-28T12:58:42.971-07:00Yes, thinking there will be loads of changes if Ob...Yes, thinking there will be loads of changes if Obama opens it up.
