Off we went back on our way to Havana club, on the way we stopped to check out some old Spanish forts and old buildings and squares. The distillery looks mediocre, not lavish or grand or having any real resemblance to what I would of imagined. In we went, had to wait for the next available tour in English. It came around soon, we paid our cover of $7 CUC and went on the tour. The tour guide kept on trying to make jokes that were either completely misunderstood or just plain crap. The guide briefly explained some stuff about rum, told us that a Cuban saying is that 'all roads in Cuba lead to rum'. The best thing about the tour was either the massive model railway showing what the sugar factory and distillery looked like hundreds of years ago or drinking the rum at the end. Most people on the tour wanted to try the juice from crushed sugar cane but they wouldn't give it to us, we had to pay for it but mixed with orange juice and rum. Like everybody else I just wanted to try it on its own. On the way back to our hotel after the tour, we came across a fast food vendor that had some freshly crushed sugar cane juice and some other local treats, mainly pork sandwiches or hamburgers. Frank bought some of the juice and we tried it, it actually tasted really nice, I can't describe it that well but it was very fresh tasting and sweet but not sugary sweet, it had a beige sort of colour and didn't have an odour. I would try it again, on a hot summers day it is pretty refreshing.
