I had great night's sleep and am up at 6 am. I head down to the lounge and was fortunate that they would do our laundry before we check out. Glasgow is about a 4 hour drive but we need to return the car today. Driving to a city is easy, once inside that city it becomes difficult. I print out directions to the car rental and again to the hotel for the night. Bill is up down ready for breakfast.
We wait around the hotel so I can check us in for the flight the next day. Guess what? WE GOT ANOTHER FIRST CLASS UPGRADE!!!!! This will make our return home less depressing as the adrenalin drops.
We drove down route 82 into Glasgow. I would like to say the drive was uneventful just so I do not have to search for more adjectives to describe what we saw, but it was incredible. We took the scenic route around and aside the lacks, through the mountains with cascading waterfalls, into passed charming small towns, on roads so narrow and wet from the rain that by the end of 33 hours of driving, I wanted just a straight, boring road. After, 5 1/2 hours
what everyone said is only 2 1/2 or 3 hours we arrive at out hotel and converted church to a decent size, reasonable, non wifi room. We dropped the rental car off and got hit with the extra charges for keeping the car longer and dropping it in a different city. Oh well, we did enjoy it and drive the shit out of it. I would not want that car on resale.
Glasgow is not pretty city. I am glad we did not give it more time. We did have a wonderful salmon dinner. Tomorrow we grab a cab and head home. Just when I thought the night was over, I decide to head out to look for an Internet cafe and grab a coffee. I see a sign, no not that kind of sign, a real sigh across the street from the hotel that says Tiki Bar that even has a wifi connection. I make a bee line for the basement bar, order a real wuss drink concoction, open my IPad and I am in heaven. With this bar across the street the hotel has shot up 2 additional stars in my book. Give me a Tiki Bar trail over a Malt Whiskey trail any day. I sit here and going to stop typing and order a few more. Real Macho Heaven!
