Trinidad – it really does resemble a town where time has stopped (somewhere in the 18th Century). The whole town is protected by the unesco and is using the money well to maintain and improve all the buidlings. Everywhere you look, there is something that is photo worthy. Managed to find one café that sold milky coffee, and now realise why it is so expensive compared to the norm. Milk is rationed along with any other cow product and as foreigners, we are not allowed to buy it. After dragging our bikes around the cobbled city for an hour or two, we headed out towards the beach for a well earned rest after the 92kms of the day before. Playa Ancon in pretty, but not as commercial as Varadero, and much smaller. They do have some coral reef there though to make it a little more interesting. After lazing away the afternoon, we started the journey towards Sancti Spiritus across the mountains. The journey out of town was hard with a head on face wind making the going very slow. Just as it was getting dark, we managed to find a suitable campsite and threw up the tent quickly to avoid the grass flies. The pitch was tilted and bumpy so we did not really get the best nights’ sleep.
