  • Medicine and drugstore products are for free in Cuba.
    A positive result of the Communist regime.
    But for special products people have to pay - a lot - so a black market is created again.
    Believe it or not - but the Cuban doctors are famous . Hospitals are well spreaded over the country and have a good reputation.
    The drugstore shown in the picture is located at the famous "Calle Obispo"-old Habana

  • In front of our Hotel Palacio O Farrill we saw this scenary.People sitting in front of their houses and selling Cuban Coffee to the locals and the tourists. This is Cuba.The people are very inventive to earn some pesos or dollars extra.But the coffee was delicious!

  • Fishing early morning seems to be a favorite sport in Habana.Especially the Malecon coast line is the spot to be.

  • In front of the Capitolio - center Habana - you will meet at least three photographers with their old cameras trying to get you in the picture on the many steps of the Capitolio.
    This all in black/white pictures.
