When I left for Cuba, I left with certain clichés in mind, many originating from my past – queues, empty stores, a gloomy and a sinister atmosphere that used to dominate the 1980s’ Romania. I was expecting empty stalls and darkness, but at least, in a tropical context. And what have I found when I arrived there, partially infirmed my clichés….but not all of them. read more…

I’ve just been warned by Emanuel on Facebook (he is now in Poland) about a super offer and I just order you – “Buy now as it will disappear in minutes!” – Caribes Air flight from Paris to Guadeloupe and back for 712 Polish zloty (174 euro) in March, when it’s the best time to visit Caribbean!
