Its cheesy tourist stuff for sure, and the food wasn't anything special...but the atmosphere is just too damn cool to pass up.
Anyone up for an HDC reunion? I think I know where we can go for dinner now ;)

It's odd though. In all of this debate of gimmicks and so on, I've forgotten about my favourite, oh so simple dining experience. A good old fashioned roast dinner carvery at a country pub. Can't beat that on a Sunday.
