Trinidad, Cuba



Although my landlady in Santa Clara offers me a 'casa' with a friend of hers in Trinidad I opt to run the gauntlet of hustlers at the bus terminal and find my own. On consulting my guidebook I discover that Trinidad has over 300 casa particulares so it shouldn't be that difficult to find somewhere to stay.

On arriving at the bus station I'm not quite prepared for the hordes of Cubans waving laminated photographs of their rooms to rent. Weighed down by my backpack it takes me a good ten minutes to shake them off and walk towards the 'casa' I'd like to stay in.
