Urban sketching in Cuba.
Guardalavaca: One of several places that claims to be where Columbus first landed on Cuba in 1492.
But even he was too late to get a sunbed.
Twenty-four hours trapped in an “all-inclusive hotel”... Armed guards patrol the boundaries... to keep the Cubans out, or the tourists in? Pool games: The overexcited compere exhorts the holidaymakers to “Scream for competitor Number Five!” I filled my water jar from the pool, and hid in the shade of the palms.

So hot that even the cyclists need a sunshade.
