Ramada Hotel Airport Glasgow

... city and the first time that we have felt relay cold!

Porridge (with salt not sugar) for breakky.

Sunday morning was the "Barras". Markets selling all sorts of goods, trash, treasure and the like. "Come on folks, it's all cheap because it's all stolen"

Really enjoyable weekend and great to stay with a family and see what they say is "The Heart of Scottland"

The next destination on our trip was to Scotland. Now, this is a place I have had on my list to see for a long time. The chance to finally experience it and see it in its full glory was awesome! We landed pretty much on top of water and were able to see the water the entire train ride into Glasgow.

When we arrived at the train station in Glasgow, the group got separated and we decided to wait for them and get a coffee ...

Short and sweet...Were in Glasgow right now...FINALLY!!! All I can say is that this is what travelling is all about!! We ha our first trial, tribulation, glitch today, whatever you wanna call it! We travelled by car, taxicab, bus, boat(ferry), train and bus...and then car again, all in one day. And as mentioned in every single blog, what would one day be without us getting lost. Except this time, we thought we were in Glascow and were actually in a ...

Today, I was planning to go to the youth hostel at the castle, but the Land Rover had other plans!!!

Oh dear, game over! I popped out to start the Land Rover this morning at around 9am and the engine was smoking like a trooper and sounding a lot worse than it normally does. I called the AA at around 10:00 and they turned up at at around 10:45 from a local garage. He told me that the engine is fairly terminal (piston problem ...

First we went to Provand's Lordship which is the oldest house in
Glasgow, built in 1471. Many of the exhibits were about the history of
Glasgow in relation to Scotland as a whole which was interesting. I
love old houses...it was really amusing because one could see where it
was added onto over the years because the floor was not level...

Emily left early today...sadness :(... but she had to get back to a lunch date and studying for exams...

... 10am lecture on Poe and the American Gothic novel. After lecture back to the library for more reading and lunch in the refreshment room. Nap before my 3pm lecture because I feel as though I'm coming down with something, as is everyone else. The weather here is so crazy. The past two days it has been beautiful... sunny, not a could in the sky. However, there is still moisture in the air which you don't notice until you actually get outside, and by then I'm running late for whatever ...

... to fly north across Iceland and Greenland, before crossing Hudson Bay into Canada. This also limits the amount of time flying across open ocean, so if something were to go wrong we wouldn't need to find a floating runway to land on. Once we had finally taken off and had been flying for a few hours, our wait was rewarded with spectacular views across Greenland, and I think we annoyed the other passengers as we leant across the seats to constantly take ...
