Finally I got to this island. Cuba, was my destination since many years. I wanted to see this place before anything change.

At the first moment I have felt as I have found my self on the another planet. everything was different than in Spain where I live. Only political and economic situation was reminding me the one from Poland (my father country) in 80's. I will not talk about the prices in Cuba as they were crazy. Everything was so much more expensive. The best idea in this situation I could have was to rent a scooter and drive through many kilometres of the coast and villages.
Having a luck of being able to speak Spanish I decided to use my time and make a research. I think I made about 50-60 kilometres on foot, i talked to many, many people, and shoot about 600 photos.
I have come back to Europe few days ago and feel a little bit tired. I have to say that I was much impressed by people, landscapes, climate , music, and overall ambient of Cuba.



The only think I didn't manage to do, was to take a swim in the sea, but walking through the coast I can say was very interesting. On this photo you can see my best finding. It was a turtle shelf lying on the beach. I spend here about one hour trying to get the the best picture of it lying on the dead coral reef.

To see interior of this shelf, some other pictures, and also to read some more about Cuba, or even buy some of my photos I made there please visit mygallery of images from Cuba
