Cienfuegos to Havana, Cuba, 8 September 2016

.

I am back from Sabah. Mostly there was no internet and no time so there will be no temporary posts. I will start with posts on Sabah soon but first here is the final post on the tour in Cuba. Jools and I stayed on for some extra days in Havana and we will return to that after the Sabah posts.

Early in the morning in Cienfuegos, here are two people fishing with a freighter behind them.

A little later, trimming the verges with machetes.

This is the hotel where we were staying.

Quite a few horses and carts on the roads..
