Airports, Part III of IV

We're waiting for our third and final flight, out of Frankfurt to Lisbon. All of our flights were delayed, by increasing amounts, leading to a lot of anxiety about our connections, and we rushed to the terminal each time to find that a) our plane was delayed and b) European airports have this weird aversion to publishing actual gate numbers, instead only listing terminals and then posting the actual gate at a later time. We've spent a lot of time staring at boards that say "TP 579 - delayed - A". Terminal A has nearly 100 gates, and it takes 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other. So... Take a shot in the dark and then hope you're not rushing to the opposite end of the terminal when they finally do release your gate. 

In good news, we had just enough time in London for me to buy fistfuls of British candy. I now have more candy in my carry-on than anything else. Also, they're calling the first people for our last flight, so hopefully we're actually going to make it there!
