After checking in our suitcases, we decided to have breakfast. We chose Carluccio's, unaware of the treat that lay in store for us in this delightful Italian restaurant.
No picture could do justice to the amazing food we devoured- but the one above is trying it's best. Poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. And… the best hot chocolate I've ever had. No joke. The second best hot chocolate I had was about three years ago, in this little Italian cafe I found on Portobello Road, London. It was dark chocolate. It was the best until I had this one. Must go back for more :)
We killed time looking around the numerous airport shops and bought souvenirs for friends. I fell in love with a pair of high heels in Gucci's store display. I may have stroked the glass, knowing that I could never be closer to those shoes in real life. Ammi posed with the Harrods Bear and bought Abbi some chocolate covered coffee beans. And before we knew it, it was time to make our way to gate A1 for our departure.
We walked patiently and filed onto the plane (much like cattle but without the smell and moo-ing) The minutes ticked by as we waited for the aircraft to take off. To our surprise, the captain informed us that we were experiencing a technical problem and that we'll be on our way shortly.
Once the phalange was replaced, we took off and reached Glasgow on time, despite the 35 min delay. I drove us back to Maybole from the airport and we were glad to be home. Jeju was excited to see us, she giggled and sang as we all sat around her. The rest of the afternoon was spent chillaxing and "unpacking."*
*"Unpacking"- only a couple of necessary things such as lens solution, toothbrush etc. Not even daring to try and tackle anything else.
