Me.You.Hullabaloo: I'm Feeling Yummy Head to Toe

I have this creeping desire to watch Christmas movies. The leaves are changing and falling off the trees, the days are getting shorter and once the sun sets, there's a chill in the air.

With these flip-flopped seasons, I'm just so confused.

I caught myself today feeling very tempted to buy a velvet dress and a russian style fur hat, but then I reminded myself that I'll be heading home in a month and summer will be well on its way.

Our easter weekend was quiet. We held down the fort at the hostel and played the part of chamber maids getting everything ready for the guest group coming in this week. Next weekend we're heading out on our last adventure with the Satakes to Queenstown (arguably NZ's most popular destination), the adventure capital of New Zealand.

Last week, Scotty and I went to the place where all the Easter magic happens...

Cadbury World.

Surprisingly mini-eggs are not all the rage here like they are back home. The kiwis are all about their marshmallow eggs (seeing as their claim to fame is the very marshmallowy pavlova- it kind of makes sense).

SILOS OF CHOCOLATE

Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to bring my camera on the tour, but I couldn't take a photo of the smell anyways. The air was thick with chocolate- I wish they could bottle it and that my kitchen could always smell like that- they gave us little bags and we collected fresh samples along the way. Kinda like trick-or-treating (my favourite passtime).

THE TOUR GUIDE HAD A GOOD LAUGH AT SCOTTY'S GIANT BEARD AS SHE HANDED OUT THE HAIR NETS AND "SNOOTS" (BEARD COVERING)

COCOA BEANS- I ACTUALLY ENJOYED THEM

At one point, they took us up into one of the silos and dropped one ton of liquid chocolate from the ceiling into a pipe 15 feet below (we stood behind the railings around it). I could feel the rumble in my chest from the giant chocolate waterfall as we were splattered with warm chocolate. Such a bizarre willy-wonka experience.
