Cuba 2012

Ciao Toronto!

Our arrival in Varadero was met with gloomy skies ;n;

The first hotel we stayed at was an all-inclusive resort. 

Never in my life have I seen such beautiful architecture. The building are all so colourful.  ಥ⌣ಥ  

One of the highlights of our trip was no doubt seeing wild dolphins while on our mini “cruise”. Despite rape cave stories, I believe they are still cute little creatures. 

Stray dogs like these were a common sight on the streets of Havana. Most of them were always lazing around in the shade—living the good life.  

I asked my dad to take a picture of me “touching” the tip of the monument and this was the result… ._.

Second largest mural in the world, I believe. Mural de la Prehistoria located in the Vinales Valley.

On the very last day, we found out that our flight was cancelled due to a problem with the airplane’s engine. No, we did not receive a meal voucher … but a paid overnight stay at a high class hotel makes up for the inconvenience :) Customer service: Air Canada you are doing it right. 

Not a spec of green in this meal—my diet was temporarily put on hold for the week. I regret nothing  ( ̄。 ̄) However the best food I’ve ever eaten was at a local paladere. Neglected to take a picture though huhu

The mangoes and guava fruits are to die for. Yummy in my tummy.

salt in the air, sand in my hair

The ‘rents and I flew down to Cuba for a family vacation last week. Although the weather forecast predicted continuous rain and thunder-showers the whole time, the place still looked like paradise. In addition to eating copious amounts of food and tanning on the beach, we spent quite a lot of time in the water. Luckily we brought along a waterproof camera to take some pictures without fear of damaging our more expensive toys, namely my precious dslr baby. The following are some of the more decent shots (colour fixed using PhotoScape):

why is developing film so god damn expensive :c

A compilation of cam-whore shots during my stay in Cuba. A lengthy post is to follow once I get my pictures sorted out.
