    Cadbury World, to be precise! It's outside Birmingham in a town called Bournville. It was possibly the best tourist attraction I've ever been to. After going through the exhibits and a small part of the factory you get to go to the "tasting area" where you're given a small cup of melted chocolate and a spoon to eat it with, solid white chocolates and a square of fudge with melted chocolate poured over it. This is all on top of the four bars of chocolate you get given on the way round. To cap it all off you end up in the shop at the end where I was left dumbstruck by a 5 kilo bar of chocolate; each square was as big as my fist!

    Totally worth the admission for any dedicated chocolate lover - the yummiest tourist destination EVER!!! :D

    (I did feel rather sick for a few hours afterwards though!)

    Oh yeah! I was there a few years ago and in the section where the inca wax models stand they used to give out these small cups of spicy drinking chocolate (The original use for it).

    Do they still do that?

    No, no pics apart from one of my friend thoroughly enjoying her little cup of melted chocolate! I tried to take pictures in the weird little ride through a tunnel populated by lots of little cocoa-bean people, the Caramel Bunny and Mr. Cadbury's Parrot but they didn't turn out :(

    You really wouldn't want to take any psychadelic drugs before going on that little ride, it was weird enough just with the chocolate high!
