Today we woke up to another amazing breakfast prepared by no other than the man of the house, Chocolate. Fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, cuban coffee and freshly pressed pineapple juice. Again, more than enough for breakfast and a bite for lunch.
We took the bikes again and followed the same route through La Boca and along the coast on the old road all the way to the end of the peninsula (15km from Trinidad) where a huge hotel called Ancón is located. A tribute to the soviet influences in architectural style. It is considered a premium location in Cuba, but we had a look at the beach and it seemed quite boring compared to where we were yesterday. It was monotonous and for those package holiday brochures, not for us.
Next stop was a restaurante with a very nice beach before it. We chilled there for a few hours drinking and eating coconuts, doing some diving around the corals and playing bowls with stones from the beach. Perfect after a bike ride in the blazing sun.
Later we went back to the beach where we met Eduardo who was already slow cooking our fish on a fire in the rocks nearby. By now it was approching sunset and the sand flees started appearing and biting us all over. Really irritating! However, the fish tasted amazing and it was kept moist by putting thick leaves on top while cooking. Five fish we shared in total. One of them, a special catch, that I cant remember the name of, but was exceptionally good.
We hung around the beach a bit and I took some pictures of the beautiful sunset while Victoria was having a swim. After the sun had set, we jumped on the bikes and started riding back to the casa where we saw an amazing orange / pinky sky and a big crab crossing the road. The journey back was a mission to say the least, as are bellies were full and Trinidad was uphill from the beach. We were dripping in sweat and pretty exhausted by the time we got back so a cold shower was highly appreciated!
