Chocoversum Chocolate Tour
This 90 minute Chocolate tour advertised snacks and a take away bar, Sign Us Up!! They weaved you through several rooms and educated you on where and how the pods grow, are harvested, dried and shipped. We got a tasting in the raw dried form and several more tasting, as they got processed into the chocolate bars. They started the tour with a chocolate fountain snack and we finished with our own custom made bars!

Creating our custom take away bars - I went for dark chocolate while boys went for milk chocolate. I embellished with sail away decorations complete with mini anchors. Hope it's a good omen!
Final shots!
Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
The water in Rangiroa is so spectacular, I wanted to spend more time drift snorkeling and checking out the area called " The Aquarium ". So today I went back out for a 3 hour session to do 3 drift passes in Tiputa pass and then spent an hour in an area with wonderful healthy corals and tons of fish, earning it the nickname " The Aquarium ".
Today felt like we were inside a Computer Screen Saver! You know how everybody has one of those amazing beach shots on their home screens ? I am guessing we were in the place where most of them are filmed! Rangiroa is the 2nd largest atoll in the world, and its lagoon feels like its own ocean, it's huge! It is famous worldwide for "drift" diving and snorkeling, due to its fast moving current, crystal clear water and excellent visibility. We joined a group of 44 Residents in an all day adventure.
