I am flying to Havana on the 12th January for three weeks independent exploration of Cuba, and would like to hear from anyone who would like to join me for some or all of that time.

I've already booked a double room for the first 3 nights in Havana, and afterwards plan to travel around the island by bus and maybe an occasional internal flight (it's a big island!) and stay at casas particulares (private guest houses run by Cuban families). 

My particular interests are music, history, architecture, museums, plants and birds, brushing up my rusty Spanish, and trying a few steps of Salsa and a few glasses of the local rum (not all at once:+).

I'm not planning on going to any of the beach resorts, tho I'm not averse to sitting under the odd palm tree from time to time.

You'll need to be fairly laid back -Cuba is a Communist country with service and facilities somewhat lacking, and they say the food is pork/chicken with rice/beans.

Temperature in  January is around 25C, so beats staying in the UK!  You can contact me for further details, estimated costs etc.
