UK Adventure: Day 11 Glasgow, Scotland

We spent the entire Day 11 in Glasgow.
And as far as I was concerned, that was about half a day too long. We took the Hop On Hop Off bus tour, our third and certainly not last of this vacation, and even with that extra bit of information, there still just wasn't enough to keep us interested.
And although it may look all warm and sunny in the pictures, it wasn't. That was just an illusion, it was freezing. Thankfully we were onto the weather in the UK and were appropriately dressed, but still cold. Just like the city.







This was in front of city hall. Every night kids climb up there and put the cone and safety vest on the statue, and every morning, it is taken down by order of the city council.
Now that's funny.



More Glasgow.









We really wanted to like you, but we just didn't.
Sorry Glasgow, it wasn't you, it was us ...

UK Adventure: Day 10 Touring Isle of Skye, Glasgow, Scotland

We spent the morning of Day 10, Tuesday, touring the eastern point of the Isle of Skye.
Spectacular drive and even better scenery.






















Then it was time to start the 275 mile journey to Glasgow, but not before stopping at  Dumbarton Castle, which was used in the 1997 James Bond movie, starring Pierce Bronson, Tomorrow Never Dies.




We arrived in Glasgow in the late afternoon, and after finding a place to stay, and getting settled, we took a stroll through the city.













Interesting fact: Its really hard to give an accurate time based on sunlight in a picture, because the sun only started to set at 10 pm and it was up again around 4 am in this part of the world. 
Crazy, wonderful.
