Day 17 – Villajoyosa
We had been talking about visiting one of the chocolate factories that are local to us so this morning we made a plan to do so. It is about a 15mins walk down the lane opposite the main entrance to the site and then a little further down the main road. We went around to Phil & Clare to ask whether they would like to join us which they did.
I knew that I would struggle with walking that distance so I unloaded the mobility scooter from the back of the ‘bus’ and put it together. I was so glad I did. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who couldn’t speak English but he still was able to conduct a tour of the museum. And explained with sign language and a few translated signs how it all worked in the past. We were convinced that it hadn’t been used for some time and had no likelihood of ever doing so again.
We were then invited into the small shop where there were samples of the different types of chocolate on sale. We all enjoyed the tasting and eventually picked out our favourites and bought some bars together with some chocolate covered raisins. Very yummy..
The rest of the day was very much like we have been enjoying…relaxation and watching some television and our series….Happy days.
