I recall the busy atmospheric streets, the snapshots of lives lived out in the open, and the unmistakable aromas: tropical papaya mixed with tobacco leaf, petrol and musty carpets.

Most of all I love Cuba\u2019s musicality, robust culture, wonderfully preserved history, and the fact that it can frustrate you one minute and unexpectedly inspire you the next. <i>Brendan Sainsbury, Author.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Havana Hop On Hop Off Bus:<\/p>\n<p>It sounds very touristy and it is, but what a great way to see Havana in a few hours.
