A Few Hours in Glasgow

We said goodbye to the Isle of Skye and made our way south to Glasgow.. our city of departure. We feel entering and departing from different cities is usually a time saver and makes more sense when you are city hopping. When booking a flight instead of a round trip we opt for a multi city. We also don't tend to have much airline loyalty.. we book the flight that makes the most sense in regard to time and money.

Before we got to Glasgow we made a quick stop at the Eilean Donan Castle. Eilean Donan is a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometre from the village of Dornie. We didn't go inside but just stopping to walk around was worth it.. another breathtakingly stunning spot right out of a fairy tale. 

It was a four hour drive to Glasgow and it rainy almost the whole time.. we pulled over in to the Glenco Ski lodge to grab some lunches to go and kept driving. 

We arrived in Glasgow around 3:30pm and after parking in the Princes Street Shopping Center we just walked around.. it was raining on and off again so we ducked into shops.

In George's Square

We had dinner at Thairiffic. It was good.. but the thai food we had in York was just so so good. 

It had started to pour outside.. we quickly ran into Desserts Gelateria for our last dessert of the trip.. we don't indulge as much when we are home.. so on vacation we like to go a little crazy.  

It was still pouring and even with out rain jackets and our umbrellas by the time we made it back to the car we were drenched. 

Our hotel, Ashtree Hotel was in Paisley.. very close to the airport.. the manager was so nice that when she heard we had an extremely early flight she left out some breakfast for us. And that was it.. our adventure came to an end. 

It was such a great summer.. something we'll remember for years to come. Now we're just counting down the days till we are off to our next destination.
