Hola Friend,

How are you on this wonderful day? I hope you had a fantastic week. Not sure if you have seen the article I posted on the Facebook page? Cuba is planning to gradually re-open from 15 November 2021. YAAAASS! That got me very excited 😀
There is also news on further rollout of the vaccine, Yoanis confirmed it is now finally in his area. Good news was the the Cuban vaccines are going for approval by WHO, so hopefully it means they will get accepted around the world. On the other hand, it is mostly the Chinese vaccine that is now being distributed to the Cuban people. They are due 2 doses of that and 1 does of Cuban vaccine. There are also talks in Australia now to be needing 3 jabs regardless of what you received. Will see where that goes.
The other news of the week was that there will be new banknotes being released. There will be changes to the 200, 500 and 1000 pesos. You can read more about that here.
All in all I feel we are finally seeing some positive shifts. Although I cannot yet tell as to when internal lockdowns will cease and provinces reopen, transport recommences, nevertheless it is a start. I'm looking forward to the updates and makes me very hopeful to run our first tour in February 2022 with Shane Gross.
Shane is such a wonderful soul 💕 a marine conservationalist and brilliant photographer with a mission to tell the story of the ocean. And he is getting around doing that, through various ways like with his most recent appearance in BBC Wildlife. If you'd like to create a fabulous portfolio of the stunning underwater world of Cuba, you've got to join him. I'll let him tell you all about it! |
