The end of the meal.

Good meal and catch up with my friend on her return from 6 weeks in New Zealand.  The waitress offered us a table in a different room as we couldn't hear her when she tried to take our order as the big birthday celebration party on the next table were so noisy.  Just as well as we were about to ask for a change - we had a lot of talking to do.
She is still jet lagged and planning an early night.
