We went on a field trip last week. This time to chocolate factory. Just four of us, everybody else stayed at school studying … Anna, an infectious diseases Dr from London, UK, myself and our teachers. We had to take a chicken bus to the neighbouring town. If you’ve never tried it, it is an experience. Fortunately, this time it took us only about 45’ unlike the last time I was in Guatemala with my buddy and we were taking a chicken bus from Belize to Guatemala… Another story …

The “factory” is kinda overstating it. The whole establishment is a farm with few houses where the entire process happens. Very small enterprise but they do a very good business judging by number of tourists there. The chocolate making seems to be a fairly simple process. Unlike the chocolate we buy at home, this one consist of only 3 ingredients. Chocolate beans, canola and sugar from sugar canes. The taste is different as well, more coarse. No better or worse just different. It is very cheap here, in their gift shop it was only $4 for 454g. It is hard to beat that. But better than the chocolate pancakes was a liquid chocolate. Sooooo good. It didn’t take long to see the entire production. But it was fun to see how the chocolate is made. And we skip the whole day of school … ;-)
