Trinidad - More

So I completely forgot to write about the cave in Trinidad.

On our final night most of the group went up the hill to a club which is inside a cave. We got up there fairly early around opening time, but as is typical they were on Cuban time so we hung around for 3/4 of an hour before they let anyone in. It was quite an experience, you go down in a series of caverns with the music gaining in volume in each of the caverns until you get to the main area with the DJ booth carved out of the rock wall above the dancefloor. Very good location for a venue.

We hung out for a while and then decided it was time to head back so we head on out and the first person we see is a "taxi" so we being 7 (a couple on laps/floor) of us jump in his old 40´s chev with suicide doors and head on down the hill music blarring from the tinny radio, all the while I´m hoping the brakes can stop us at the end of the winding dirt road. We got there in the end with no problems and finally got our ride in a classic cuban ride (albeit no where near the best kept car in town).

So far Trinidad has definitely been the highlight of the trip, beautiful casa, sailing, seeing the wildlife and the city itself. It´s a bit more laidback than Havana, the architecture in the old part of town is welcoming and there´s plenty of music on tap as well.
