Glencoe, Boat Cruise and Glasgow

We had to have our luggage out by 7:30 am and be ready to go by 8:30 am.  We had breakfast in there.  When we were checking out they were very laid back about the bar tab.  Not sure how that all worked out.

Headed out to drive south to Glasgow.

The staff said goodbye

We stopped at a view point of Castle Ardverskia.  If anyone is familiar with the TV show the Monarch of the Glen.  It took place here

Simone, our tour guide and Allister, our driver

The Commando memorial

these memorial bouquet are are everywhere 

Restroom stop at a touristy gift shop.  The Spean Bridge Mill

The stream by the mill.  

drive by views

Viewpoint stop near Glencoe

Very beautiful area.  We drove through the glen to the moor. Glencoe is the area that the MacDonalds were slaughtered by the Campbells.

When we got to Loch Lommand we got on a cruise.  We had sandwiches on the boat.  (I am getting tired of these tasteless sandwiches we keep getting).  

The pilot is NOT watching where he is going.  He is talking to us.

A castle hotel at Tarbet where we got off.  We met the bus there.  The people who did not want to do the cruise stayed on the bus.  They had a chance to go into this hotel and said it was very nice.

Then we drove on to Glasgow.  The bus dropped us off at the St Mungo's Cathedral.  

Necropolis.  We are going to try to get up there tomorrow morning

For those of you who know Dr Who.  This is an example of his TARDIS.

There was an optional dinner with the tour group this evening and we decided to not do that.  We have had a leisurely afternoon and then we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner.  I think we are a little tired of British food. We found that the Charcoals was close.  We walked there

oops I forgot to take a picture of this.  Poppadoms and chutneys

Vegetable Mekhani, raita, rice, chapatti, Aloo Gobi.  It was all tasty

Then back to the hotel.  This hotel has some weird things as well.  The elevator you push the floor you want and then it tells you which elevator will be the right one. A, B or C.  You have to make sure you wait for the right elevator.  The stair are not obvious either.  Kind of round about.  You also have to keep your key in the light switch slot in your room other wise the lights go off automatically after a few minutes.  But the internet is good.

Even though we have had off and on sunshine I have not seen the moon since London.  Disappointing since tomorrow is a Blue Moon and I will probably not see it.
