As we passed a part of the island where people live, we heard a lot of yelling and whistles. We also saw a lot of flashes of light.
cienfuegos cruise cuba holland leaving inaugural lights photos sailing
Our tour guide was so nice. He answered every question anyone had about living in Cuba and he told us that our ship had been on the news the night before. We didn't know this was Holland's inaugural cruise to Cuba! He told us he was so nervous to giv our tour he almost cancelled!
Our last stop on the tour was a flute concert. This was their outdoor venue.
The tour included lunch. It was at the Hotel Jagua.
Our guide said this used to be known as "Jack's Club." A lot of the older people on the bus said, "Oooh!" but we didn't figure out what that was. I'm assuming JFK?
I LOVED the houses.
When I looked this building up it said it was the port terminal. It's not the cruise terminal.
They took us to a street where they had street vendors selling local wares. It was really good shopping because most of the wares were hand made, not typical tourist stuff.
With a bicycle cart!
We walked through Martí Park towards City Hall.
There were WAY less classic cars in Cienfuegos than in Havana. It kind of reinforced what our guide said, that they're for the tourists. I still liked them.
A very historic theather in downtown Cinefuegos.
Looking down the street to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

This is one of my favorite photos. The classic cab in front of the new cab.
I thought it looked cool.
