Day 124: Swiss Chocolate Tour

Kieran originally signed us up for an English speaking chocolate tour, but the other guests canceled so the guide cancelled. So we decided to execute our own chocolate tour. We accepted today that we would spend a little money and actually pay for food instead of cooking pasta.

We trained downtown from the hostel and started with a steak sandwich recommended by Enda from Armenia. Next, Kieran found 8-9 chocolate stores where we could walk, buy a piece, and move onto the next. It was so much fun and the chocolates ranged from traditional flavors to chocolates with alcohol inside and then pure chocolate liquid cups with strawberries inside.

Next we found a local Swiss craft brewery and Kieran finally got a much needed stout. We debated our dinner choices because cheese fondue is famous in Switzerland but so is raclette, cheese scraped into your plate. We found a place with both! We enjoyed the meal and agreed that Kieran’s mom makes better fondue at home.
