Trinidad (part 2) - Dec 16

Some observations of cuba

- not many toilet seats
- only thing on offer in the way of street food seems to be pizza (and perhaps some sandwiches). 
- thought i would see spontaneous salsa dancing and much music in the streets .. haven´t seen this at all
- yes they do smoke cigars
- you see old men sitting in the street playing dominoes

Walked around town today, just wandering aimlessly really .. soaking up the colonial atmosphere. There is not much in the way of car ownership in Cuba (same level as England in the 1940´s), so many streets feel pedestrianised.

That evening I met a lovely German girl (who I had seen earlier on the bus from Havana), ended up chatting to her and sharing a bottle of Rum (you can buy a bottle of 3 year Havana Club for $10), then quite inebriated I joined her for some salsa dancing in a cave.
