We
started the day with a breakfast in Windows restaurant. It was supposed to be a la carte, but unfortunately
they had an issue with gas in the kitchen, so breakfast was changed to a
buffet.
After
breakfast we walked around the corner and caught one of Glasgow’s Hop On Hop
Off buses. We purchased a two day ticket
for only £1 more than a single day, which was great value.
We
visited Provand’s Lordship, which is a medieval house and the second oldest
building in Glasgow. The Cathedral is
the oldest, which was our next visit, but being a Sunday there were services on
so we didn’t go inside.
We
picked up the next bus and headed to the People’s Palace and Winter
Garden. The People’s Palace is a museum
telling the story of Glasgow and was quite interesting. The Winter Garden was lovely on a winter’s
day.
We
were after a Sunday roast so headed to Waxy O’Connor’s next door to our
hotel. This ended up being quite
unfortunate as it was not a very enjoyable meal. The barman decided that it looked so bad he didn’t
charge us!
The
afternoon was spent back on the HOHO bus visiting the Riverside Museum. This museum is all about transport and was
quite interesting. We also enjoyed the
travel by HOHO bus, showing us lots of Glasgow.
We then returned to our hotel for a glass of wine in the lounge before dinner at Amarone’s where I ate lamb cutlets and G had Cotoletta, We finished with Crème Brulee and an Affogato.
