Sooo, I was watching some videos of cigar factory tours on youtube over the weekend when my wife asks me 'what are you watching?', so I show her and she does her typical rolling of the eyes, adding in a tut for good measure when she clocked it was cigar related... again!
Anyway, for our Honeymoon last October we visited Cuba. She wanted somewhere hot with nice beaches etc, but was not fussed exactly where, so I suggested Cuba as it had something for me there too (i'm not generally a fan of laying on a beach for a week solid!). She agreed, we went, had a fantastic time. We stayed 3 Days at the Parque Central, Havana, then trotted off to Varadero for 7 Days. The three days in Havana was my highlight by far and surprisingly enough, the wife said the same thing! Varadero was nice but to be fair we could have been anywhere in the world that has nice beaches and hot weather!
So, when she asked me what I was watching on youtube, I thought I might just put the suggestion out there that we maybe, sometime, go back to Cuba? And maybe spend a little more time in Havana? And maybe go around the time of the Cigar Festival?
The following 'yeah why not' nearly knocked me off my feet (I say nearly as I was sat firmly on my arse at the time!).
When we were in Havana in October, we had a day trip to the Vinales Valeys and stopped off at the Francisco Donatien cigar factory. This was great and exactly what I wanted, but it left me wanting to see more and more but we ran out of time in the capital. I plan on making much more of a second trip and will be tapping up you guys who have been before for some hints as how to get everything out of Havana!
As some of you know from some of my previous posts, the wife is expecting our first child next March, so It might not be for a while yet, it's just nice to know that the trip is on the cards!
