Back From Cuba

[Rene]

Hi,

I just returned from Cuba. It was great.

I had great local rum like Areche (from former Arechebala) and Caney (from former Bacardi). Ofvourse there was plenty of Havana Club (now and then to much, but it is holiday).

I also visited The Havana club museum and headquarter. The distillery was forbidden.

I saw the former Bacardi and Matusalem distillery (from the outside). I took some pictures, but the police did not like that. I also visited another distillery (botling part actually). The distilleries are mostly forbidden for tourist.

I'm working on an internet site where the journey will be shown.

For now, best regards,

Rene

Thanks for sharing, look forward to seeing the photos.

I'll second that! But Rene, I have to ask: is it really possible to have too much Havana Club?

Tell us about the food as well! Did you eat Lechon Asado?...Oh man that stuff is good!

What happened when the police didn't like your picture-taking? It sounds like there's a lot of paranoia by and about the distilleries. Is it well-founded on some basis or other?

Did you get a chance to hear some good music?

I can't wait to hear more, Rene.
