It's been a long day....

Salam, Elena, Dana, Khaled, Sari and Hani arrive at London Heathrow Airport.

So we've been to Heathrow and back to York today and it took a few hours - about 9 hours driving all told. That's nothing really when you consider that it took about the same length of time for our guests from the West Bank to travel from Bethlehem to Amman on Tuesday and that's only a fraction of the distance we travelled today. Nevertheless, the drive back up to York was pretty long, gruelling and hot for us all and it's no wonder that our six visitors were all very ready to sleep by the time they were dropped off to their hosts. We'll all gather at Friargate Theatre in the morning so that they can see York in the daylight. We'll also be off shopping for poor Hani whose suitcase didn't make the journey with him from Amman to London!
