Editor's note: This is the third in a four-part series based on our recent trip to the South Island.
Our second stop on the South Island Trip was Dunedin. Located
on the Southeast coast of the South Island, it’s a cute city settled by the
Scottish in 1848, and it bears a likeness (so I’m told) to many cities in
Scotland. Since it was rainy, we avoided
the outdoor activities and did some indoor ones, including a tour of the
Cadbury chocolate factory. It was pretty cool, and not just because we got lots
of free chocolate (including Jaffas, Pinkys, and Crispellos).
The first part was a tour through the actual factory, where
we saw the entire process of making chocolate, truffles, and marshmallow eggs.
Unfortunately, the Cadbury Crème Eggs are made in England, so we didn’t get to
see those.
Then, we went to a huge silo where they poured a LIQUID TON
of melted chocolate through the building while we watched. The next stop was a
tasting room, where we watched a short video while eating cups of warm melted
chocolate. Then it was back to the museum building and the shop to stock up on
candy bars for the remainder of the trip.
All in all, it was a pretty cool experience. Cadbury might
even be tied with Hershey’s for the best chocolate…
