We have a visit to the guava drink factory for a quick tour and taste the cognac type liquor that can only be found in Pin...

Fifty four hours after leaving Linden, I arrive in Havana. A local taxi drops me at the Casa Particular where Inge, Natika and Jeneen are waiting. We go for a stroll along the Malecon (full of people 'canoodling'). We have dinner at a local cafe and I have my first Mojito of the trip.
