I decided to stay four nights in Glasgow for two reasons: 1) I know the first day will be a write-off, what with the jet-lag and all, and 2) Sunday travel on my next destination, the Isle of Skye, is almost impossible once I get there.
All those free museums! I basically spent my time in Glasgow saving money. And what a collection of museums with free admission! The Hunterian Museum, Museum of Transport, Kelvingrove, St Mungo, Glasgow Cathedral, GoMA: that’s basically the best of the best in Glasgow, and it’s free admission, all day, everyday. I’ve been reminded of a conversation I had before I left, how many places open their museums for free, but Vancouver doesn’t have many, if there are any at all.
Another comparison I want to make is the pedestrian mall on Sauchiehall and Buchanan Streets. On the days I visited, it was packed full of people. How about doing the same for Downtown Granville once the RAV line is done, and leave the buses on Seymour and Howe?
And since we’re matching pop-culture references to my trip, here’s one I found at Glasgow Cathedral:
Next: a magical train ride to Skye!
