As the rain continued to pour, the logical course of action would be to stay indoor. We headed to Jeju Chocolate Museum next, and was surprised to find its location tucked away in an industrial area. It is surrounded by factories and for a moment, I thought we were visiting a chocolate factory instead of a museum.
As the sign says, it is a top 10 chocolate museum in the world.
The building looks like a castle from the medieval time....
....with stone wall and wooden doors.
And guarded by a knight.
The premises is big, but the chocolate factory is surprising small, with only a couple of workers at work.
The melted chocolate does not look appetising at all.
But the end product certainly is.
Assorted chocolates.
Freshly made white and strawberry flavoured ones.
This cabinet showcase the many chocolate containers from around the world.
The once-happy couple.
Chocolate posters from around the world.
A display of toy figurines.
Soldiers fighting for their territory...
Wooden toys.
Family taking a break under the cocoa tree.
A runaway tram from San Francisco? It is just a lookalike.
The visit to Jeju Chocolate Museum is short, but interesting. Here, we learned the history of chocolate where cocoa was cultivated, harvested and made into the chocolate form. In fact, the chocolate making process has not changed much since it was invented in 1100BC. Till this day, chocolate remains a favourite for many, with some considering it an aphrodisiac delicacy.
And another travel trip awaiting....
