Kilcreggan Hotel Helensburgh

... if you are trained in the area of expertise, you communicate to each other what that space represents personally.

As we traveled through the city we noticed the astounding architecture that had been built. Most of it was very modern, comtemporary work because of the war destruction in the Glasgow area. We took a look at the famous art school and imagined for a second what it would be like to work in their studios.

... checked back at airport but no comment made-told checke I'd filled and I believe he turned ignition on.I unfortunately did'nt keep receipt for fuel-payed cash.I mention this to warn other hirers.! I feel I've been scammed.Tend to use Avis because off AA discount-look at others in future ...

... actual city of Glasgow yet. It looks unreal beautiful though. Big city but with a real calmness to it...not the usual hustle and bustle of other big cities. We are getting up early and going to catch some city sights tomorrow. ALso, I almost died when the car rental gentleman gave us a free upgrade to a shining black Mercedes Benz buggy to cannonball around with...full coverage so if any crazy Scottish men run us off the roads, we are covered full tilt!

What a fantastic day,

Managed to pick up the contact lenses for me and glasses for Kevin from the post office before we left home this morning.

The sunrise was fantastic!

Made it to Glasgow for 12.30 and pit stopped at Kerry and Robbie's flat before tarting ourselves up for Lunch at 1 Devonshire Gardens. What a lovely experience. The food was ...

There is not a lot to say about the wedding,except we all had a fantastic time! I will let the photo's speak for themselves. It was great. The food was very very nice, and the company was brill. Sophie looked fabulous as so did the bridesmaids. Enjoy the pic's we had a great time.xx

We took a train trip over to Glasgow as Amy's grandfather has links to the city. Apparently he was the engineering involved in the constructions of one of the bridges, The Geogre the IV over the river.

It was a bit chilly in Glasgow but I was a bit silly and didn't take my jacket!!! Brrrr but it was a strange old day, sun out - warm, rain/wind and it was freezing bit like Melbourne I suppose.. lol.

We hopped on the tourist bus again ...

... some nice locals which is rare cause there is ALLOT of snobs. And my day got better when i got tipped  ! Which made my dad fantastic cause you don't get tipped very much in the UK unless you work in a restaurant (I'm working in a upper classish B&B). So ...

... cabs in the area. I said that was fine. 20 minutes later the Helensburgh bus shows up and the driver offers to take us to the wildlife world. since the cab hadn't arrived yet we all jumped on board. And the bus broke down. So I asked the driver if the cab showed up before the replacement bus if we could get our money back, he said sure, and then told us an interesting story about the taxi company. Apparently they were paid $290 000 by the government to ...

Hi Everyone! I realize that I haven't written much lately. That's because I've been busy with life, which, unbelievably, is normal :) I've definitely been enjoying the day-to-day. I've not done as much traveling as I'd hoped I would, but I'm pretty confident I'll be back to this great country, and there will be time to explore the Highlands (hopefully when it's sunnier, too!) at some later date! :) Classes have been going well. My ...
