This time we're revisiting Trinidad, Cuba!
As part of the #HiveBloPoMo I started blogging about places I've visited during my travels! So on Thursday I'll take you on a throwback trip!
Eventhough Havana takes most of the glory when it comes to Cuba, there are other worthwhile cities you can visit.
About a 6 hour bus ride takes you from the capital to a small historic town called Trinidad.
Not to be confused with Trinidad & Tobago 😃.
The town is famous for its cobble stone city center and historic buildings.
When you get there the first thing you notice is: the low houses. Especially compared to Havana, where you'd see one or 2 story buildings in the city.
These houses were close together in narrow streets. The vibe was lightly 'western movie' - ish.
And when they said cobble stone they meant it! I mean I lightly twisted my ankle a couple of times so ladies heels are a NO GO! 😂.
The internet situation in Cuba was strange by western standards, you had to buy cards that gave you access to an hour of wi-fi. The result? A busy social gathering at all the wifi spots 😃.
Another recommended trip when your in Trinidad is a horseback ride to a natural waterfall. We made the mistake of going by carriage (because my sister is allergic and we figured it would be better than having her sit on the horse).. It was very and I do mean very uncomfy but I'm still glad I did it. The country side is beautiful to see. The waterfall is also cool but this was one of those moments where I know I'm spoiled when it comes to nature, cause when you've been to the interior of Suriname and seen other natural waterfalls, these relatively small ones are not the top highlight of the trip🤷🏾♂️.
Another cool thing in Trinidad is that they have a night club in a cave!!
My sister and I went to check it out and get a few drinks. Fun times!
Lastly we made sure to check out a few of the art shops. I'm not specifically one for random clay statues or anything like that, but I really appreciated the paintings.
Hope you enjoyed another trip down memory lane!
And if you've been to Cuba I'd love to hear your stories!
