Welcome from Nicaragua. We were a bit giddy by the time we got to Masaya, one of many active volcanoes in Nicaragua, this one just off the highway from Managua to Granada. Famously, you can drive right up to the rim of the volcano, and famously, you must back your car into your parking spot to facilitate a quick get-away, just in case.

Relaxing in Havana. This is in front of the National Hotel in the Vedada (University) section of Havana. It's a nice hotel, but the attraction here is a barely visible museum, a bunker actually, a relic from the Cold War, that was a bit of a command centre watching for US planes coming in from the Florida direction during the Cuba Missile Crisis. The Cubans actually expected to be hit, and any
