Further south

Cienfuegos was quite a surprise, loads of shops, plenty of tourists but well diluted by the locals. Wide streets, very open, some lovely buildings. But things closed early. Found a place to stay for 25$ with breakfast. Looked as if eating out was going to be more expensive than before but away from the centre had mojitos, main courses, salad and 'chips' for 12$ (for two) with 60's music - Cienfuegos is growing on us!

Changed money, did shopping, queued for bus tickets then hunted the locals' boat to the fort. It left early as it was full. Fort very interesting. Had the best ever paella topped by a lobster tail for 5$.

Then three days at the beach at Rancho Luna, about 12km south, in a quirky casa. Went in a horse-drawn carriage to see the local flamingos, then cocktails and fish suppers on the beach.
