Its over. I had 30 days, first in the cities of La Habana and Santiago de Cuba, before starting my cycling trip from Baracoa in the very south east, following the south coast all the way to the very south west in Granma Province, before continuing north.
I passed through some great mountainous and coastal scenery, either staying with local families in the countryside in their wooden huts, camping on the beach, staying in the very down to earth holiday huts for holidaying Cubans, and in the official bed and breakfasts run by Cuban families in their own homes.
It was a trip of mixed experiences, often at times it felt the bad ones were out numbering the good ones, but overall I would have to say not out weighing them. And that's all I'm going to write about it here; any more and it would get a bit too opinionated, potentially offensive, a little controversial and just not really appropriate to publish on the web. You'll just have to buy me a beer one day, and I'll tell you all about it.
You can view the photos from my trip, with a few captions added here and there:
I am currently hiding out in the depths of Belize City, hanging out with the tramps and Creole speaking Taiwanese and Indians. There are even rumours that I'm thinking of heading back home soon.

Heading home? Surely not - afterall, you always said that you would be out there for 3 to 6 months.....
?? But it is - just a tad over 6 months actually.
Any good engineer knows that a realistic and flexible plan is essential at the start of a project Chris. The plan should be consulted continuously, and those involved should be prepared to re-evaluate the tasks and timescales to incorporate any unforseen changes throughout the duration of the project. This is vital if the success of the project is to be realised. But I know you already know this Chris and I'm preaching to the converted.
Glad to see you have been using your project management skills developed by that NVQ :-)
