holidays in Varadero/Cuba Dec. 2001

beach

Can you remember the feeling of lying in the sun, totally relaxed? Looking around, seeing nothing but the blue sea and the blue sky above? Yes, there are good reasons to leave home in december...

hotel

The facade of the Iberostar Tainos is not the nicest part of this hotel.

...or go to the Iberostar website, where you can find all information on this hotel and all other Iberostar hotels around the globe.

across cuba

One day I left Varadero to go scuba diving in the Bay of pigs. This meant 300 km on a bus from the north coast to the south coast and back. The pictures give you an impression of what Cuba looks like, seen through a window without being able to really get in touch with the country.

diving

During two weeks in Cuba I spent more than eight hours underwater. Click on the fish to discover a hidden world...

 

Thanks to Chris van Eijk for the pictures.

people

Of course, on an all inclusive tour you spend a lot of time in the hotel bar and meet people from anywhere in the world. A good opportunity to take some funny pictures...

I know, these pictures are of no interest to others. To all who've been there: Click on the picture. To all the others: Don't complain about boring photographs.

the end

All long distance trips end, where they started. And it is not really nice, to come back to Frankfurt airport, see a grey sky through the roof of the railway station and to know, that it's only -4 degrees Celsius out there.

I'm still freezing....

 

goodbye, Cuba
