Phespirit goes to Cuba
Havana     July 2000

'RHOMBIFER' CROCODILE

The Cuban crocodile is one of the most threatened New World crocodilian species. The total population in the Zapata Swamp was recently estimated to be between 3,000 and 6,000 animals .....

..... but Phespirit still tried a little stir-fried.

(on a crocodile breeding farm, of course)

LOBSTERED IN VARADERO

Phespirit nurses his fresh coconut and rum, oblivious to having just cremated himself through injudicious sunbathing.

That night was agony.

PARADISE FOUND

Las Terrazas has another of those natural plunge pools just made for lounging in.

22°C, or so they say - a touch too cool for some of the locals.

Phespirit owes thanks to the Mexican lad who generously gave of his shorts, thereby averting any inappropriate exhibitionism.
