This more we woke up quite late only 7am to go to Anconos Beach, since we went to sleep quite late (around 1am) after arriving to Trinidad yesterday. We were celebrating our designated driver’s/friend’s birthday as well as celebrating of having one hour of Internet connection. You start appreciating modern world!

This morning we ate breakfast in the casa. It was bigger and more variety than in Holguin : coffee, sandwiches, cheese, sausage, fruits, home make bread, pan friend sweet bread. We’ve paid only 5 CUC each. It also had a nice terrace for breakfast!
Chilling at Anconos beach
At 9:30am we were already in Anconos beach. Had to pay 2 CUC for umbrella and the car but for all that’s OK. Mojitos 3 CUC each. A very hot Cuban guy bringing them coming for a small tip. Though he could have asked more frequently if we need a refill.
Paradise on earth. So relaxing and waves are amazing!
Fancy Lunch at Anconos Beach
After some hours on the beach we went for some fancy lunch. Local lobster sounded very good. 24CUC for it and 2CUC for a beer. The place was called Grill Carib. The lobster served was delicious, though with some lemon would have been nicer. We didn’t see anywhere lime or lemons on sale here. Must be difficult to get them here and probably they don’t grow them around here. Maybe a good new business idea?
Afternoon in Trinidad
After lunch chilled out in air conditioned room, the Cuba libre cocktails at home and walking in the town before dinner at our casa particular (10CUC each).
We’ve got pizza to share just before dinner and God they do love salt in here! So salty! Same for fish at dinner had too much salt for my taste.
So funny how all locals and tourists catching WiFi in Plaza Mayor. Instead of socialising everyone is in the phones. Globalisation! Cuba is changing too.
One of those people offering a horse ride was offering as a ride tomorrow on the horse in Trinidad. Strangely he asked to pay him 10 CUC in advance, but we didn’t trust him. He was saying that he will give us his mobile number and insisted to pay right now, but we were thinking that mobile number means nothing and he might just not show up tomorrow morning. Eventually, he budged and agreed that we will pay tomorrow morning when he comes to our Airbnb to pick us up. He wrote down the name of our accommodation and left. Honestly, we thought he is not going to show up, but as story shows it was the unexpected the next day!
