The Buckingham Arms Hotel

The Buckingham Arms is at 1 Walkerville Terrace, Gliberton. Merkel and Myrtle were there to partake of the Saturday lunch smorgasbord. This was an excellent buffet with a variety of styles of food, seafood and desserts.

The only hot beverage available in the smorgasbord was self-serve coffee from a machine so Merkel ordered a hot chocolate at the bar. It cost $3.50 and came in a stemmed glass with a handle on a saucer. The drink was topped with a dollop of white froth on background of brown froth. The hot chocolate looked better than it was tasted as it was far too sweet even though two packets of sugar were provided in the saucer.
