                <description><![CDATA[There's not much for kids to do as Cuba is so poor. Beaches are wonderful and a day trip to Veradero is strongly recommended. <br><br>If you are in a hotel, make sure it has a pool, and if you are in a Casa, visit the Hotel Nacional's pool. <br><br>We went all the way to the huge Parque Lenin on the advice of the guide books - only to find it a deserted wasteland! So beware out-of-date  guides. <br><br>Our kids loved taking rides in Coco Taxis (little 3-wheel bikes). They also enjoyed the dolphin show, although we probably wouldn't have gone if we'd known the conditions the dolphins are kept in.<br><br>Other than that we did the usual tourist things of walking around, markets etc. Not our kids idea of a great time, but we made sure we always did something for them after one of these.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[We had a trip to an area of old sugar production, now a bit down on its heels - in the town of Central Australia. Our children enjoyed the chance of a short trip on an old steam train and a chew of sugar cane by the side of the track, but my highlight was a tour around the offices in town where Fidel directed operations during the Bay of Pigs invasion. The rusting engine of a shot down plane lies nearby.]]></description>
