Glasgow - Sunday - Relax

Slept in after the long day yesterday. A few folks are moving slowly as the social went into the wee hours last night/this morning. Kelly was kind enough to bring me coffee... again!

Today we prep for our departure from Glasgow on Monday morning. Laundry is getting done and there is a big fry up planned to use up some of the food in the fridge. Our suitcases are slowly being filled up.

I got busy cooking up sausages and bacon we enjoy a nice filled roll each... although no sign of Kris this morning. (He did finally show!)
   
Showered, semi packed and fed, it was time to head off and explore. We decide to go the the Transportation Museum just out to the west of the city center. 

1920's Steam Powered Tractor

They had a huge scale model boat display, automobiles, rail & tram cars and full sized locomotives. The sailing ship Glenlee was moored outside as well. It is a very interactive place with lots of interesting user friendly games and learning tools for kids as well.

Incredible detail!

Lots to see.

We joined up with Lynn and Warren (who also took in the museum) then went over to the famous Park Bar (est 1885) were we met up with numerous other band members. They block off the street as the pub is so jammed they made an area to socialize. Not much for protection from the elements but it was nice while we visited. We enjoyed the piping and drumming chat that went on there. Lots of bandsmen and their supports all end up there at some point during the day. Well we did!

We stayed for a drink and then headed for dinner. We planned to meet Sue and Paul at the Ask Italian restaurant just by the bus station. On arrival at our table a gentleman walked up and said hi. It was Ian MacCrimmon from our Big Rock Band in Edmonton!  What a surprise for us!  We were reintroduced to his wife Charlotte and son Calum. We had not seen them since 1994 when the band played at the Worlds back then.  A quick catch up and they were off to the music event at the Glasgow Concert Hall across the street. 

Our last dinner was very good then back to the dorms to finalize packing. 

A small social ensued as we readied for bed.
