Cailler (Nestle) - The magical chocolate factory

The Cailler chocolate factory was a magical place.  The tour given was light-hearted and entertaining.  It showed the history of the cocoa bean and how it became popular.  The best for me was a room with all the cocoa beans.  There was one bag from Ghana!  It made me so excited.  For all I know those could have been the cocoa beans I harvested while I was in Ghana.  Of course it was also wonderful to have all you can eat samples....which all the scholars got sick from eating too much.  Then everyone went out to the store and bought tons of chocolate to take home to share with friends and family...including me.  I spent about about CHF 40 (or $41).  All the Scholars together spent about CHF 558 ($580)!  Unbelievable.
