The road is mountainous today, I'm happy to be back among the beautiful scenery.

I'm meeting cyclists with impressive bikes for the first time! The three of them are riding in a triangular formation at a speed higher than mine. Tomorrow I'm definitely going to Cienfuegos, just look at the mileage.

Road signs are still inspiring.

I arrive in Trinidad, but the rooms are very expensive and the city seems unwelcoming. I prefer to head to Playa Ancon, located 10 km away. The beach is magnificent.

I met about a dozen Quebecers in Costa del Sur. It's lovely to speak French! The people are so friendly! I feel good here. I'm only going to spend the day here; I'll try to find a room in Trinidad tonight. I paid 25 CUC for a day at the hotel. The sky is looking threatening!

After the storm I returned to Trinidad to find a bed for the night.

I go to bed very early, I'm very tired!
