"Old Havana reminded me of some long forgotten war zone.
A place passed by. Some of the buildings are just shells, having collapsed
in on themselves, rubble from the buildings spills out and is dumped all
over the badly potholed streets."
--Dave Hucker

"I was shocked to see people waiting with large buckets
on street corners to fill up from the water tanker. Even the hotel had a
tanker deliver the water at night! Old Havana itself is very run down now,
the soul of the place shouts out from the faded paint work and crumbling
bricks."
--Dave Hucker
