Cuba

a travelogue of a last minute trip to central Cuba...hastily worked out, for one week only, in early March 2008...flew into Varadero, but quickly moved on to Trinidad and Cienfuegos...the majority of images are from those two towns...both on the Caribbean coast...both with colonial centres and more contemporary outlying areas...cameras used were Nikon D80/Nikkor 18-200mm, and an Olympus C5060WZ
