This place is amazing and highly recommended if you want to visit somewhere totally different. Anyway, that’s week 8 done and I found a pretty great place to run this morning which had been bothering me before I arrived. I stupidly forgot to hydrate this morning before I went out which was probably why this was another tough one. 30 minutes next time and I’m not looking forward to those last 2 but I will do them regardless and in just 3 more runs I’ll graduate 😊😊😊

It’s brilliant, we were in a bar last night with a live band and everyone in the street was dancing past😀

Well done on completing Week 8 in style! I honestly don't think that you will notice those extra two minutes for Week 9.

I would love to visit Havana. It's on my bucket list! On my wife's too, but being American, that's been a tad tricky in the past 😆

You're on the home run now. Doesn't feel that long since I saw your first post!

Looking forward to that graduation post!

Lots of Americans here on Holiday, there were flights landing from Florida and Houston when we arrived yesterday. My Dad comes all the time as it’s only half an hour from Nassau, really an amazing place from what I’ve seen so far. I thought the old American cars would be few and far between but they are everywhere it’s really quite surreal, like you have gone back in time to a different era. Can’t recommend it highly enough and it’s pretty reasonable cost wise especially after Nassau which is very expensive.

I think, within the next couple of years, it's a must. Trip to New York to see family in Feb and then we've got a few visitors coming here from across the pond over summer. So maybe next year, we'll seriously look at it.

It's a place I've wanted to visit since I was a teenager.

Well done mate. These experiments you will remember forever. Can't wait to join you on victory lane this week.

Not what you're looking for?
