Trinidad

Well here we are in our final Cuba destination. We struck lucky with our 'casa' and are staying with a lady called Maria who is a surgeon of urology, and her batty old mother. It's the nicest one we have been in so far and we're glad of it as Cuba is wearing a bit thin. It is very odd being served your dinner by a doctor who earns more doing that than saving people's lives. She made the best food we ate in Cuba though, great bean soups and fish and chips!

Trinidad is a colonial town full of historical buildings and little streets to wander around. There are lots of all inclusives less than 10km away and the daytime sees many sun burnt European getting on and off tour buses and taking a few snaps.

We spent our time relaxing and wandering, taking in more of whacky Cuba and managed a great night our with our mates Chris and Jo. We went to a nightclub in a cave which was all a bit random but a great night all in all. Chris also kept us entertained with his fluent Spanish which to him meant bunging an 'o' on the end of everything e.g. stupido, excellento!!!

We have to say though that whilst Cuba has been vastly interesting and we've always wanted to come here, we won't be back in a hurry. It's a very frustrating place. We're glad we've got a few days in Mexico City at the end to finish off our trip. As you all know we love our food so we can't wait to get to Mexico and eat like kings!


As a PS, we loved Havana airport's Aeroflot flights to Moscow, one leaving 5 minutes after the other, one a non-smoking flight, the other not!
