Arrived Glasgow safely and happily

Our trip went very smoothly. We even managed to not over eat or over drink by too much.

Unfortunately our room in Glasgow was not ready when we arrived at 9. 30. How dare they! We left our bags and set off in search of non- airline coffee. We stumbled upon a new group of shops and cafes built around a roofed central square.  There was lots of wood, glass, old design features. It was very pleasant and the coffee was ok.

We went from there by subway to Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery.  This is a big old Victorian building built purposely to house a collection of goods. We saw a small selection - we were fading fast. Noell was pleased to see a spitfire , an original from the then city of Glasgow squadron.  We asked a wandering attendant about puffins. He directed us to a few different galleries and told us about a Dali painting. We were quite impressed by the power of the painting and never got to the puffins.  There is a huge organ in an organ loft above the central area. We listened to  a half hour recital while we had a sandwich, then came back here to our hotel.
