Well
Just a small side trip to Cuba. I met so many people who recommended this country to me, urging me to visit it before Castro dies. (mind you he has been in office for 51 years now and the people still love him.).
Being in Havana was like stepping into a movie set. A scene from the sixties, with old cars (yes pete even morris, plymouths and old german motor cycles), the architecture was late 1800s and the buildings were beautiful.
Meet my new travel buddy, Yan from Germany. The second German I now know with a sense of humour. (yes Jurgen... you are the other one,.. and its our birthday soon).
We spent 6 amazing days here and we even managed a night at the Opera. We saw Puccinis Tosca (in Italian not Spanish )which was so moving.... yes its oficial I am a flash packer (no longer a back packer).
We ate at the best Italian Restaurant in the Carribeen (according to the Lonley Planet Guide) and drank some of the best wine from Chile. Backpacking in your 40s is so much easier than in your 20s.
until next time

Hi K, Great that you made it to Cuba, and sent a little taste of it back to us all... what a treat that you're roaming the world the way you are! Quite an embassador for Aussi-land, you are. Thanks for the wonderous fun comments. All the best, Teri Bigio from Marin County, CA.
