Día siete-Trinidad:

El último día nos levantamos temprano y manejamos a trinidad. Fuimos a la playa a relajar. Yo tomé el sol y también nadé y conocí a muchas personas simpáticas y hermosas. A las cuatro de la tarde manejamos para tras a Santa Clara y nos regresamos a casa. Eso es como mi familia y yo pasamos nos vacaciones a Cuba.

... la caminada vimos las cascadas de Hanibillo. ¡Cuando terminamos nos duraron 7 horas a llegar para tras! Era muy duro pero me gusto mucho. Nos metimos en el carro y fuimos a un restaurante, no me acuerdo que se llamaba pero la comida fue deliciosa. Yo ordené tamales con pollo y también papas fritas. Luego, Después del restaurante fuimos a La Union hotel. Yo estaba muy cansado y se sentía muy bien acostarme.

... Fue trabajoso porque ellos fueron excelente jugadores! Luego como a las cuatro de la tarde fuimos a la playa para nadar y hacer castillos en la arena. Después manejamos a la granjita hotel era mi hotel favorita estaba en el bosque. Nos dormimos muy temprano.

... choppy for snorkelling, so after a nice swim there we headed to another area called Silvia which was a bit more sheltered. There we saw quite a few blue and yellow striped fish, thousands of tiny silver fish and a massive spiny black and white one hiding under a big lump of coral. We also saw some purple fan coral and Greg and Clay spotted an eel. On the way back we stopped at another beach and walked out to it on a boardwalk through the mangrove-like trees, but ...

... our car approached – they’d stand up and spin around and around on their back legs while their outstretched giant front claws snapped aggressively.

The further we went the more crowded the road became until the bitumen was liberally covered with an army of marching crabs rearing up at us – not to mention the smashed shells of countless thousands of others that had already fallen victim to other vehicles.

Cienfuegos was bustling and its ...

... freshly carved moist pork served in a bread roll with a slice of cucumber, out on a busy street of a small city smack bang in the middle of the country during First of May festivities, was most definitely one of my Cuban highlights.

Ben, Tony and Derek (or El Gato – The Cat – as Derek had also become known as by this point for his rather limited energy stocks) all went back to Playa Ancón until dinner time (finding a nice sandy beach this ...

< br>The greater part of the day was well spent exploring the centre of Trinidad, UNESCO listed for its pastel coloured colonial houses.

Wherever we walked along the cobbled streets I enjoyed snatching glimpses through long barred windows or open doorways into the dark and cool interiors of family lounge rooms, sparsely stocked shops, small industrial workshops and schools. While the town was ...

... I didn’t even manage to get into my web mail inbox before my time cut out, and I left the shop feeling distressed that I still didn’t know what was happening at home. Cuba’s relatively poor connectivity to the outside world had been one of the drawcards that had originally lured us, but it was now immensely frustrating to have ended up travelling here during one of the rare times I actually needed to be closely in touch with my family.

'Che Day' was how we ...

... of claves. Playing an upbeat mix of tunes with great enthusiasm they had our firm attention, and the New South Wales Government will be very glad to know they again got their money’s worth as a head with a CityRail cap soon bobbed up directly behind them. The music and the atmosphere were so good that Ben and Derek each bought one of the band’s CDs then and there, and my advice is to keep a look out for TDK Silver 700MB in the shops – I think they’re going to be huge.
