Last day in Havana was pretty uneventful, we checked out the very interesting and very grand Museum of the Revolution, and wondered if it would all be destroyed if Fidelīs opponents gain control of Cuba in the future - the whole rewriting of history thing.

Saw my trumpet teacher and his son before i left, they were perhaps the only really genuine Cubans I got to know. Even though heīs on US$14 a month and lives with a wife and 3 children in a tiny one-bedroom house, i never felt like he was pressuring me into giving his family money. I did pay him for the lessons, but extremely fair prices.

So thatīs it for Cuba - as stated in the first entry, it was amazing in a variety of different ways, and I would seriously suggest any visitor to this part of the world to come here while itīs so different to everything else. Before it becomes yet another US-controlled caribbean resort country run on tourism (which could very well happen). Seeing a small part of the real Cuba (rather than just a 5 star beach resort, which so many europeans think of Cuba as) was one of the highlights of my trip so far.
