On Saturday 5 Jan we hopped on the train and headed to Glasgow (50mins away). We were met by heavy rain and winds which resulted in Hayley being a grumpy cow for a lil while! (oops!) We weren’t expecting much as a couple of friends had recently been and both said it was boring! Anyway Niki had been told to go to the Kelvingrove Museum (I’m soo over museums!) but it was surprisingly fun and a really good museum.
The Kylie Minogue exhibition was on (for free) so that was cool seeing heaps of her awards and costumes (mate, she is tiny!). We then headed to the nature section where there are lots of “stuffed” real animals, and they’re not behind glass so u get a good look. The highlight was the elephant! Yes you read right…an elephant! It was very impressive, had been in the museum for 100 years. There was also a giraffe, a massive crab, a reindeer and even a kiwi and many more. A large pipe organ was also on display and a guy played a few songs. We overheard a young girl of about 4 years saying to her Mum “This music is doing my head in!” Imagine in a wee Scottish accent, So cute!
It conveniently started raining again as soon as we stepped outside the museum. GRRR But we found a tavern close by and had a yummy lunch and a few pints, noticing the difference in price from Edinburgh! (cheaper!) After that we hopped on the subway back into town and looked around a few shops and malls. It’s a really good place to shop with a huge pedestrian street lined with lots of shops and about 3 malls as well. We didn’t stay too long cos it was just depressing seeing all the sales and knowing nothing can fit in my pack!
My new jop is going really well, everyone’s super nice and it seems to be a great place to work. Niki has been rostered on for quite a few hours so we are all on track for saving! Hope to register with a Doctor this week so we can look into getting our jabs for Egypt (ouch! The pain and the cost!)
