We arrived in London after a long flight. We killed the 8 hour layover by talking, napping, and wondering. Heathrow is a huge airport teaming with We all seemed to have our travel woes. I was seated next to a larger male. He was pretty clueless on the space bubble thing. Also had a nasal thing were he snorted every few minutes to deal with nasal discharge.
Brits have an accent similar to the Southern accent. They seem to be able to be stern with you. you would thank them for it cause it was a pleasant experience.
Heathrow had better get it's crap together in customs with 2012 looming less than a year. It took quite a long time to get through. I kept hoping that the end was really a ride on the 'Terminator.' Heathrow Terminal 5 , where we made our home for 8 hours was a mini city. Stores of every type. People of many different cultures. We met a young man from Denmark. He was on his way home from the USA after a job interview. I felt bad for the poor chap from Demark. He made the mistake of sitting next to our group.The midwesterners in the group were friendly, inquisitive, and chatty with him. We ate at a place in the airport. Mom and I split some fish and chips. Quite good. The beer was awesome! I had a magners golden. A lite and fruity flavored beer.
We got to Frankort about 10 PM. Once the choas of room assignment was done, we headed to a place that translates into the Swiss Bar. I think we overwhelmed the bartender. What wouldn't? 15 louad crazy Americans in a very small place. We literally cleaned out the kitchen of most of the food and possibly the beer. It was a great way to finish a long long travel period and to begin our time in Germany. We met and chatted with a gentleman who is the care taker of the church nearby. He and his wife were fun and pleasant.
Til next time
