Pascal and the chocolate factory

By in Travels on October 15, 2005

Tuesday was my first day with my new customer : Cadbury. We left Melbourne on Tuesday evening and the with the time difference we reached our hotel in Auckland, NZ at 2:00 am. The night was short…and the day ahead was going to be long. We left the hotel and made our way to Avondale to visit the Cadbury factory. We spent the better part of the day there touring the factory and getting to meet the people we will be working with. It was then time to hit the road again as we headed towards the airport to catch the plane that would get us to our next destination: Duniden (via Christchurch). We made it in Duniden at around 9:00pm. The next one and a half days were spent in Duniden again visiting another Cadbury factory and meeting the local staff there. By Friday noon, it was time to start the homecoming trip to Melbourne (via Wellington).

The itinerary: Melbourne – Auckland – Christchurch – Duniden – Wellington – Melbourne.

Could almost be my home (if they took out an ‘l’)

Duniden by night.

    Salut mon petit Pascal,

    histoire que tu ne m’oublies pas, je vais commenter ton petit tour :
    alors maintenant, monsieur va me dire qu’il travaille dans la société que j’ai par trop connu quand j’étais jeune : le chocolatier de mes rêves !!!!
    tu devrais avoir honte de me faire ce supplice. En plus, le temps que tu me les fasses livrer, ils auront tous fondus, les fameux biscuits !!
    bref, je te souhaite quand même beaucoup de chances, de courage, de réussites professionnelles dans ton job
    A bientot et oublie pas tes petits anciens collègues parisiens !!
    P.S : tu fais quoi chez CADBURY ?
    Yann

    Salut Pascal
    Je crois que je ne vais plus visiter ton site! Ca fout le cafard presque de voir autant de photos sympas de new-zealand.
    Donc si je comprend bien, tu es en projet pour Cadbury en nouvelle-zelande, dis-donc tu ne voudrais pas échanger avec un client de Levallois!
    Aller, continue bien guy!
    A bientôt
    seb
