Glasgow wasn't a big thing. We needed to do some laundry so we looked up where a laundromat might be. Found a 24 hour one and got an Uber. He drops us where the address is and goes on his way. We are looking for a laundromat and don't see one. Very confused. And then I spot it out of the corner of my eye. There is a washing machine in a gas station parking lot washing clothes. There were two machines, so we got to wash our clothes. We were amused.
Glasgow didn't come across as so old. Yes there were a lot of old buildings, but a lot more new buildings also. We found those kinds of things interesting.
After two nights it was time for our bus to the ferry. Oy. I did not do so well on that bus. Mostly because it was following the coastline which means twisty and turny. Reminded me of the other trip I took to the UK and how the bus got me. Motion sickness is no fun. But we made it to the ferry and then I could not bring up our tickets on my phone. That was more frustrating than the ride on the bus. Finally, we went up to the counter and asked. No big deal, she took our names and printed us out boarding passes.
The ride was smooth. I do all right on bigger boats. No stalking of Avril Lavigne or U2 this time.
A couple of things I noticed about hotels in the UK. They use actual glass glasses in the rooms, and they also use real flames in the restaurants. Candles. Real ones.
