They're taking photos
We finally figured out that the people that live there were taking photos of the ship as it left! I took a video, click HERE. to see a video we took of part of it.
Mystery noise
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.
One more
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!
Concert venue
Our last stop on the tour was a flute concert. This was their outdoor venue.
Hotel Jagua
The tour included lunch. It was at the Hotel Jagua.
Yacht Club
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?
Fabulous!
I LOVED the houses.
Port terminal
When I looked this building up it said it was the port terminal. It's not the cruise terminal.
Art vendors
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.
Food vendor
With a bicycle cart!
City Hall
We walked through Martí Park towards City Hall.
Classic cars!
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.
Teatro Tomas Terry
A very historic theather in downtown Cinefuegos.
Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción
Looking down the street to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
New and old
This is one of my favorite photos. The classic cab in front of the new cab.
