HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban Miguel Palenzuela, 52, and his wife Ania have been waiting for a month outside Colombia's embassy in Havana in hopes of securing a visa to travel through the South American nation.

Palenzuela, who commutes almost daily from Guanabacoa, outside the capital, says he would prefer an appointment but the website crashes. Other embassies are as bad or worse, he says.
