It's a great article. You know of course Harry is a member here. Shame Yiorgos's pictures didn't make it to the online edition.

I like this line "My main reason for coming to Cuba was to write an article on the Cuban health system."

What's this Harry, research?

The shirt. The drink. The cigar. Now there's a man who knows how to party.

Great article.

Ehhh... That wasn't me. It must be a doppelganger. Actually no, Andy created that image with Photoshop. He's a wizard with a PC.

I mean, I've never even been in El Gato Tuerto. Repeatedly, night after night until they ask us to leave. Or on the Malecon at 7am trying to fish two drunken foxes out of the water, accompanied by a crew of dockers who were waylaid from their morning run by two bottles of rum and some plastic cups...

Great day, great week, great city, great country. Roll on next year - maybe even November...

It varied from night to night - sometimes soething non-alcoholic, like beer, and sometimes a proper drink like Havana Club 7 year old. It's still behind the bar in El Gato Tuerto...
