On the way back from Trinidad, TotalAdventure stopped in Cienfuegos for a couple of hours. Cienfuegos is an industrial port, with a center that is like a Spanish themed American town of the 1950s.

A cafecito is one CUP Peso – about 4 cents.

Cienfuegos is the home of the famed musician Benny More.

The Young Communist League.

TotalAdventure was asked not to come inside.

Perhaps this sign will be taken down soon ?

In the Cathedral.

After Cienfuegos the car returned me to Havana for the final two nights at the apartment in Ciudad Vieja.

TotalAdventure spent the final day exploring eastern Havana from the Malecon to Miramar – the diplomatic district. Above , is the newly recommissioned United States Embassy.

On Avenida 5, the Iranian Embassy.

The very retro Habana Riviera, untouched since the 1950’s. Scenes from the Russian propaganda movie Soy Cuba  were filmed here.

Closed since New Year’s Eve 1959. Not much chance to redeem.

Inside – the Copa Room – your Grandparents may have danced here.

The all-seeing Soviet Embassy. The Russian Embassy occupies a huge plot of oceanfront land.

Venezuela, a close ally.

On Thursday, February 4th TotalAdventure returned to Miami, once again, on the 45 minute Eastern Airlines flight. TotalAdventure will return later in 2016, hopefully on the overnight ferry service that is expected to launch from the Port of Miami. In the meantime, please enjoy the video below – “Cuba Road Trip 2016.”
