This
is
a
delightful
stop
around
the
corner
from
the
fort
and
market.
The
"tour"
is
short
and
sweet,
and
interactive:
they
popped
open
a
cacao
pod
and
let
us
suck
on
the
fruit,
and
then
demonstrated
the
grinding
process
and
showed
us
the
various
stages
of
the
bean's
life
cycle.
All
of
this
was
earnestly
done,
with
no
cost
or
push
for
tips.
(Though
they
have
a
box
and
I
did
tip,
unprompted.)
The
shop
has
a
great
selection
of
chocolates
and
fantastic
homemade
ice
cream,
along
with
some
other
locally
made
specialties,
gifts,
clothes,
etc.
Also
had
a
lot
of
locals
perusing
the
shop,
which
I
took
as
a
good
sign.
Absolutely
delightful
and
highly
recommend.
Just
be
aware
of
the
pushy
"guide"
Paul
who
hangs
around
there
and
tries
to
force
his
way
into
offering
you
a
tour
of
the
nearby
shops.
(Unrelated,
I
think,
to
the
museum,
but
still
a
bit
of
a
fixture
there.
Paul
is
nice
enough
but
definitely
pushy.)
Everyone
that
worked
the
museum
was
a
delight
and
it
was
a
fascinating
experience
to
try
the
fruit
itself!
