Ride in a Coco Taxi - Havana



I just uploaded the first clip from our trip to Cuba. This is footage from one of our rides in a Coco taxi, which is essentially a moped with a semi-enclosed seating area for passengers that resembles a hollowed out coconut (hence 'Coco taxi'). I highly recommend the Coco taxis as an alternative to the regular taxis. The open-air experience is brilliant.

A couple of caveats about the video:

- It's bouncy. Pretty difficult to keep the camera steady in the back of a Coco taxi.
- It isn't particularly interesting. There is no commentary - the audio is nothing more than revving moped engine and wind.
- It's raw. I haven't edited anything here - just uploaded the straight 4 minute shot.
