Good to know for Cuba

Cash is the default. Cards are far from universally accepted, ATMs are unreliable, and casas particulares, taxis and paladares want cash anyway. Power cuts happen too, which makes a headtorch and a charged power bank practical rather than fussy.

November to April stays dry; May to October brings rain, with the heaviest air from August to October. You meet flat pins on some walls and European round pins on others, with buildings running at either 110 or 220 volts, so a universal adapter is essential. A filter bottle saves you hunting for drinking water.

Long rides in over-chilled coaches and roofless vintage cars argue for two small things: a thin sweater and a scarf against the wind.
