  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Walking off the catamaran when it moored up on a deserted Island for lunch and seeing the welcome party of 20 or so Iguanas waiting, hesitating, then stepping on land hoping our leaders comments were correct, in that they won't attack or bite you, they are just being friendly (he didn't say how big they would be though !!!)

  What did you think of your group leader?

  We had 2 because we had so many kids in our Group - they were both great !

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Don't expect luxury !! The hotels are basic by our standards. It would have been great if we could have stayed at the NH in Havana for the last 2 nights, instead we consoled ourself with lunch there in the cool atrium, with some great Spanish food and service.

  It is very hot so be very careful with your children not to get them sunburned. Most parents seemed caught out on this point, we sail regularly so know how vicious the sun can be sometimes. Take rash vests for use when snorkeling or swimming.

  Not recommended if you are a fussy eater - the food can be limited in some places.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Go with an open mind, and enjoy Cuba off the beaten track whilst you can. and don't forget the rum is the same price as the water......
