Happy Easter (again)

I realise that for most people reading this Easter has been and gone, but in this part of the world it is still Easter Sunday, there are no shops open, and I have eaten too many chocolate eggs.

About two weeks ago we visited a town called Bariloche where they were attempting to make the world's largest chocolate Easter egg. At that time they had just commenced construction in what resembled a half pipe.

Since then, dozens of chocolatiers have worked tirelessly to finish the egg.

The end product was over eight metres high and weighed three and a half tonnes. Those who happened to be in Bariloche this morning got to truly enjoy the egg - by eating it! The makers were kind enough to dismantle the egg and hand out the pieces to celebrate Easter.
