Final days in Cuba

Well, I´ll put some thoughts together and post them when I get to Spain on Monday, but thanks for checking in just in case! Just got back to Havana from a couple of days in a place called Viñales which was beautiful and involved caving. Not what one immediately thinks of for Cuba. There´s been quite a lot of rain (thanks to Tropical Storm Arlene - I want that naming job, by the way) but the worst was today whilst in the bus, so I´ve been pretty lucky. Although nobody warned me that rain really stings when you´re riding a moped. Locals laughed at me. Or with me, as I choose to interpret it. Strangely the luggage man at the bus station laughed at me too. I demanded an explanation, but nothing made sense.
