How to survive the hotel buffet

You have endured the airport terminals and the delayed journey. You have had a fitful night's sleep on sheets stiff with cheap bleach, watching something dark and hideous crouching by the skirting board. At daybreak you realise that the squatting creature is one of your all-terrain activity sandals. This serves you right for buying them in the first place. Women are either too old or too young for activity sandals; there is no middle ground for this ugly sister of the shoe world. However, when it comes to negotiating the badlands of the hotel buffet breakfast, the activity sandal is as vital a part of your holiday armoury as a cold, cold heart and a big, big tray.
