Travel | Cuba!

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to experience Cuba.  mixture of opulence and communism set within a stunning natural landscape has intrigued me. The links to a glamorous (and not altogether great yet romanticised) bygone era plus music and cocktails... it all adds up to the kind of beautiful complexity that fascinates me.  

So, picture the excitement I felt when Baz surprised me with flights for my 40th birthday. We've had a rough, tough past five years where all the wrong things got the attention and this trip was just the tonic we needed.

Turns out it's also an excellent way to bring this blog out of hibernation. 

Some snaps from the highlight reel 

Havana

Viñales

Varadero

Matanzas

The garden at the Casa Particulares we stayed at - bliss

Absolutely incredible, totally lived up to expectations, and quite possibly the holiday of my lifetime. So grateful!
