Wandered off to the bus station where we missed the bus because I had to go to the washroom. You have to pay to go and I couldn't find the right coins (still learning all the different 'pence.') haha When I came back, Glen was trying to run to the bus but it took off. No big deal because the next one leaves in 15 minutes. So off we finally go. But when some woman got on at a bus stop en route, the door wouldn't close. We sat for about 10 to 15 minutes with the driver trying to open and close it. Finally, he called in and (not sure if the door was fixed or not) off we went again.
Upon arriving in Glasgow, we found our hotel room--close to the castle and in a really great location. The room wasn't ready, but we left our bags and headed off. Found some very interesting trinkets--scotch-flavoured condoms to a Black Watch kilt for me. Can't tell you all of the stuff we found because they might be presents for some of you!
We toured the castle. I think we got some great pictures which I will try and add later. It really is a magnificent place. You wander around and imagine what it might have been like to stay there. Preferably not as a prisoner!
We then wandered High Street, which is where all of the shops are situated. Lots to look at and see. We ended up in a wee pub where Glen and I spent time making up the life history of an older fellow who was quite drunk and sitting by himself. He didn't work in an office, but for the post office. His wife had died a few years ago and he drank daily at the neighbourhood pub. His buddies regularly bought him drinks (some fellow did) but didn't talk to him much. Well, that's our story. It got more detailed, but that is the main idea.
