Bueno.... last post has been a while...am back from Cuba now for a week. the first cultural shock has been digested (alemania is just soo different...)

the pic here shows me in the Yunque National Parque, near Baracoa. Baracoa was the city I picked for my last 2 weeks too, by the way. just great to spend yer time there... beaches, usually very nice and friendly people (not as pushy as i.e. Trinidad or Santiago), the 2 national parks, lots of rivers to swim and chill or have a party, barbecueing a lil cerdito (pig)....

so, what did we do? well, some of you might have received postcards, but all in all it was a great trip. I am glad we stayed for such a long period, cause certain things simply got better/easier over time...

Today now I will be hopping on my bycicle and start to cycle to Sylt. I'll be back in about 3 weeks time (mid June ish). after that it looks like a tour through Germany (my mom in Osnabrueck, Knut in Essen, my Bro, Andrea and Antje in Munich, and after that off to Thuringia, to visit my Sister and father...and last but not least, to buy some original "thueringer wuerste"

and who thinks I'd be through then, hehe... nope! :-P quizas (maybe) a visit in Dublin, but deffo in July/August a 3 or 4 weeks stint in Spain - another spanish course.

P.S.: I didn't loose any weight... food was way too good (and abundant for people with hard cash too...)

P.P.S.: here 3 more favourite pics from the Cuba journey:
1 - on my birthday, driving through Habana with a 57 ish Ford V8 convertible -
