Perugina Chocolate Factory
Awaiting a lecture on the making of chocolateWhat a bit of luck; its Jazz week festival time, and we are in town. So after a leisurely morning by our pool, we headed into the capital of this region. First stop was for the kids, during normal siesta, the famous Perrugian chocolate factory that make the “Baci” chocolates. Everyone having a love note inside. So we went on a chocolate factory tour, sat and listed to a talk about chocolate and then followed an overhead walk way looking at the “oompah” workers doing their stuff, the smell was gorgeous. We obviously then all had one “Baci” sweet each, with our little love notes and two of us, guess who got covered in chocolate. Then up to the Jazz fest. I think our kids will come home and wonder they can’t dance on the streets of Bourne End. There were bands from New Orleans jamming with local students; the streets were full of every type of person. We drank cocktails with tapes, where the kids and Onita could dance, and then went for a good Italian meal again by all the music.
The evening was really our thing, Peruggia was like Orvieto, cobbled streets, narrow lanes, terracotta building, but
it was buzzing with life and music. It was a late evening after all the fun, we thought the kids would go asleep on the way home, but no, they quietly listed to music and pointed things out in the very red night sky. Favourite songs on the way home were, Asha - Angel, Robbie Williams, Jay - Piggies, The Beatles. Karl made us one single car CD for this two month trip, and Onita says it is a perfect set of songs.
