‘I’ve got the travel bug’  So Cuba what to do and what not to do!!  Here’s some top tips to follow that I think you should know before travelling to this beautiful destination...  Number 1 - Money So the money is confusing!!  In Cuba there are two currencies- the CUP which is the Cuban Peso but this is mainly used by locals. You may end up with change in this money if buying from the local shops etc.  The other is CUC’s but which are Cuban Convertible Peso and what we used and most tourists, it    is the same rate as US Dollars... 1 CUC is the same as $1. It    has more value and easier to use.  Cubans also accept Euros and Canadian Dollars. Neither CUC or CUP are available outside of Cuba, which means you'll need to take your travel money with you in pounds, ready to convert at one of the banks or the hotel your staying at.  Take cash, not many places accept card and make sure you have lots of smaller notes to tip, buy drinks etc because most places

We also had a three course meal with wine and cocktails and it came to 170 Zlotys which is about £37. Cheap cheap cheap!!!!!  Polish food  Try everything!

‘You   can’t just eat good   food,  you’ve got to talk about it too’ If your a foodie like me then Poland is the place to go!  We went to the city of Krakow and couldn’t get enough of the tasty treats on offer and the delicious flavours.  The city is known for its cafe culture, wherever you go you can grab a coffee and a cake, even in the evening... I’m not joking there is cake everywhere, I had to undo my buttons on my jeans a few times, but there is so much more to try here too!!!

Doughnuts filled with rose are everywhere and are so tasty but also don’t miss out on the chocolate filled ones either.  In Poland instead of pancake day they celebrate Fat Thursday which is basically a day of doughnuts. We was lucky enough to be there at
