Cuba Cruise - Trinidad & The Bay of Pigs

After a day at sea, our ship arrived early morning in Cienfuegos, Cuba and anchored off the southern end of town. I went on a hard-to-reserve all day tour to the colonial city of Trinidad, an hour and 15 minutes away. Howard went on a half day tour to the Bay of Pigs, a bit closer to Cienfuegos. His excursion included what turned out to be an excellent Cuban home style lunch, plus a short tour of Cienfuegos.
