Once more unto the breach

We are, again, waiting at an airport - Heathrow this time - hopefully we will make it home today!  They put us up at an airport hotel last night, which was really nice (two rooms even) and gave us a voucher for dinner and breakfast.  The breakfast this morning was a decent buffet but the dinner buffet last night was the worst I've ever seen - just a bizarre mix and very few choices: raw peppers, lettuce drowning in ranch dressing, boiled white rice, a curry and a tikki dish, both of which didn't look very appetizing, a awful tasting lasagna, little grilled pieces of corn on the cob (which I usually love but this also didn't taste good), small fried tortillas and french fries.

Speaking of food - we have found donner kebabs to be the most universal.  It's what we think of as gyros - with the vertical compressed lamb meat that they shave off.  It was in every place we went and we ate it several times.  The best was at this little place in Holyhead.  Still, I am looking forward to Dave's delicious cooking!

Once again signing off (and the delay gave me time to go through and post pictures from the rest of the trip)
