Glasgow...

Hmmm... not one of the most interesting places we've been to! Actually it's more like a 'normal' city than a cool old medieval place. Again, just there for a night, but that was long enough.

We had a flight booked the next morning for around 10am, which we thought would be fine - but what we hadn't realised was that there is no public transport to the airport (dodgy little Ryanair airport of course!) in time to catch a 10am flight... well, there's a bus at 4:30 but that had to be booked a day in advance... so we ended up having to book a taxi instead! expensive cheap flight that one, but you get that. It was a nice ride in the taxi anyway, great rolling green hills etc...

So, Glasgow... Well, as i said it's very modern, with big pedestrianised streets, people EVERYwhere, but otherwise not much (that we could see in our very short stay).

One highlight was wandering around the main city park, and hooking up with a tour by the park wardens, who obviously are in love with the park, and told us everything there is to know about it. Who would have thought so much history and so many little bits and pieces in one seemingly-average stretch of grass!

My other little highlight was seeing a heap of familiar jumpers kicking around a familiar (but much missed) football... Nice!



So, that was the end of our quick Scotland tour - on to France!
