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!
Next we were at Eden on the River , for a little nature walk and a swim in the cool refreshing water. This place was great with giant rocks to slide down, inter-tubes for floating and rope bridges to climb. All set in this gorgeous park with tons of flowers & fauna.
We crammed a lot of touring into this day! We did a giant loop around whole island and though it is not a large, the roads are not great. Our driver and guide were very informative and friendly and we had lots of laughs and lively conversation in the van. Would recommend Yumi tours, especially Phillip! We started in Port Vila and went counter clockwise around the coastal area.
Champagne Beach , on the island of Santo, Solomon Islands has to be on the list of top 10 beaches in the World! Oddly, we had it all to ourselves on Monday, November 24th! Below are drone shots by another resident that show the spectacular blue water and powdery white sand!
