Candy Land

This post will be the full account of last Saturday. Sorry it took so long for me to write it.

My alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. waking me in time to make the 8:16 train. Although exhausted, I was anxious about the anticipated train trip and move quickly to got ready. I met up with the other girls, we all looked equally as weary. None of us got a full nights sleep.

The train ride was pleasant enough, with watching the scenic countryside and nibbling scrumptious muffins. Although Tom Hanks never did come bouncing down the aisle singing hot chocolate, and the conductor didn't punch "Believe" in my train ticket, I think it's an experience I'd love to try again.

There was a mix up with what station we were suppose to be at, but with the help of some nice tickets sales personal we were able to board the correct train and get to Cadbury World, despite my faulty directions.

The walk to Cadbury Factory took about ten minutes. It was easy to find, all we had to do was follow the purple trail. As we neared the factory everything began to smell of chocolate! MMMMMMM it smelled so good.

The museum was full of fun stuff to do. We walked through an interactive stimulation that taught us the history of Cadbury Chocolate. We learned how coco beans were processed, and turned into chocolate. Then we walked through packaging center. This was my favorite part. We saw the machines, and workers that packaged the Candy and saw it being sent out all over the world! We also got to see a demonstration of some of the chocolate makers decorating ornate chocolate shoes. At every station we received a new piece of chocolate! I walked away from that museum stocked with enough chocolate for a month.

*The film documentary on how the chocolate was made featured the cheerful workers of Ghana who harvest the coco beans. At the end of the tour there was a donation display soliciting for water pumps in Ghana.*

(Okay, that wasn't the full account. I'll try to do better next time. Maybe I'll get around to editing this one.)
