Crucero

Today, I went for a walk around Trinidad but also went out of it and walked around the great landscape and to an old abandoned school.
Trinidad might be small but there is still a lot to do and see here. It also seems more happening than Havana with clubs everywhere and people partying more. The downside is that due to the small size you keep running into more tourists.

On a different note. There will be another Ricohforum London meetup on the 21st November, you can find all te details here.
If you are around you should definitely come by, there will be a few surprises and with the rumors of a new Ricoh camera being announced in the next days it should be a very interesting meetup.

Cigar Man

Arrived in Trinidad after a 6h bus journey but it was more than worth it. Trinidad is a fantastic place, it feels completely different from Havana though.
Just going for a walk around the cobbled streets is great, people are also different and the pace is slower. The buildings are much better preserved than in Havana so it is nicer to take pictures.

If you come to Cuba make sure you visit Trinidad and while here go to the Restaurant Colonial and ask for 'El Bolo'. He is a real character and can tell you a lot about the place, you can also stay at his house near the historic center of Trinidad.

I have updated my Gallery with pictres from Trinidad, you can find it here.
