A cuban picture view

Due to the taking of over 2,000 pictures (I have to admit that The Beast may have got a bit carried away) and an overload of Cuban culture, this week's BlackLOG is in danger of going into melt-down.  So, to give me some breathing space I've published some photos from our trip.

Nothing says Cuban like a number plate that
spells out Cuba (thanks to Mrs B and
Mini Mega Beast for this shot)


Cuban sunset

Turns out that Cuba have thier
very own Mr Magoo

The Bus Service left a little to be desired
 and was currently running about 5 year's
behind schedule....

Mrs B sure knows how to blend
in with the locals....

I'm just glad she did not light it as it would
probably have ended in divorce....

I seemed to attract 4 legged locals
 and homeless people. At least the
homeless people don't sniff your
crotch....
How can you resist those little eyes? 

 This little chap was only a few weeks old
and as sickly as Che Guevara but I would not
bet against him surviving....

This explains a lot, sometimes, just sometimes,
there is too much music....

I like the way the fan and the markings
on the cat mirror each other...

Ripe for renovation

I have a feeling that this might not reach 
European electrical safety standards....

A Cuban Citizen Smith.

For the record the cigar was just a prop and a
cynical method of tempting to extort money
out of tourists with heavy cameras.

 I've never been cursed by a Rastafarian before. 
 It's not so bad and should wear off after a couple
of decades….


They might be poor but on the whole
most Cubans seem fairly happy... 


He looks a bit defensive over his washing, I guess
 there must have been a few recent thefts in the area.

Catch you next week where I hope to fill in the details of our 400+ miles cycling around the Island and publish some more photo's.....(don't worry it won't be all 2,000 of them).

    Eagerly looking forward to tales of the bike ride and your visit there.

    3 exclamation marks, sounds like I’ve made it to the big league…..As for Cuba, beg borrow or steal a passport from someone and get there before it gets ruined by commercialism…..

    With Britain griped in sub Zero temperatures this week, and since I can’t use it for Skiing I’m with you on the warm front

    Gorgeous snaps as always!
    Why thank you Danica. I was worried that I had lost your patronage and then found you had not been well, I hope you are feeling better
