We spent the morning getting ourselves sorted and updating the blog including lots of photos, you will need to look at the archive to see everything.
This afternoon we headed off Giron, an unspoilt colonial town but the only part we saw seemed industrial which doesn’t match its description so we truck on to try to find a cigar factory, having found the town we are looking for a needle in a haystack when some locals interested in us and our bikes offer directions. Struggling to understand a young guy offers to lead us in his car which is much easier. We go to one place but it turns out to be a storage and distribution unit rather than a manufacturing place, they however direct our guide to another place, similar story, and again another set of directions. Well at the fourth stop we seem to be in the right place but are unable to go in to see the cigars being made but they bring out a tobacco leaf for us and then several more, we indicate we would like to see them rolling the cigars so a bunch of cigars are given to us but no invite in. Oh well, we leave with our gifts and thank our guide for all his help and call it a day and return to our hotel.
