Trinidad is a nice old colonial town on the south-west coast of Cuba, and is another UNESCO heritage site like its near neighbour Cienfuegos.
Trinidad Photos
I walked around the cobbled streets and historic buildings (first three photos), and also walked to the Playa Ancon beach (last four photos).

Thanks for continuing to visit this site in the absence of new material. Your visits inspired me to stop waiting around to visit a scanner, and to photo my photos instead. I think they produced some quite arty looking shots.
After Havana and Vinales I travelled south to Cienfuegos. These three photos I uploaded to Google are from my bus journey, when we stopped at a café rest stop.
Cienfuegos Memories
Cienfuegos reminded me of Miami, Florida with lots of colourful buildings, wide blocks of housing and malls, a baseball stadium and yacht club, and long seafront promenades. It’s centre is a UNESCO heritage site.
There were mountains to the south, along with smoke-bellowing industrial chimneys.
I saw dolphins swimming in the bay, and did a couple of scuba dives amongst big pillars of coral off Rancho Luna resort.
I sat on the seafront under clear star-filled sky, and had a few beers in bars.
I stayed at a nice flat with two loyal party members who’d done well, but also met people complaining about their poverty.
Here’s a few photos. The first one is of a statue of popular Cuban singer Benny Moré under a Che Guevara placard.
