Playa Ancon is close to Trinidad, and we spent 2 days there.
The first day, we thought we would hire some bikes and cycle down - bad move!
Getting there was ok, mainly downhill, but coming back was a nightmare.
The bikes were way dodgy - one had the most uncomfortable seat in the world, and the other was so hard to pedal, so we swapped between getting a megasaurass, and dead legs. Getting back took so long, we were cycling in the dark and a bit lost for a fair while.
They have massive prawns in Cuba!
On the beach at last!
On our last day in Trinidad, we got into a bit of a pickle. We had nearly run out of cash, and we couldn't draw money, as the entire banking system seemed to be down in Trinidad. This meant we only had enough money for the bus to next destination, and not much else. Luckily, Remco and Mariette were kind enough to give us a lift to the beach to save some money, and we shared a small bottle of water for the day - hard going!
Sadly this meant I couldn't buy some paintings that I was really interested in, and were really cheap.
Here, Mariette and Remco show off their coconuts!
As does Zsuzsi
On the first day, we took a catamaran trip out to the reef to do some snorkelling - amazing, such fantastic fishes and coral here!!

Ah, what a pity about the paintings. I also wish we'd bought more art in Peru and Ecuador when we were there.
