Month: March 2008

Today was museum day, except that the two of us we in no shape for trudging around museums – we’d alternate between the two of us who was wiped out, though that didn’t stop us from trying to go through a couple of museums. (more…)

Another train ride today, as we’re on our way to Brighton! (more…)

…Dark skies above… Bright and colourful Portmeirion, this morning was drab, dreary and stormy.

Got up this morning, went down for the breakfast buffet (which was more stocked that the previous day.)

Checked out of the hotel, and made our way through St. Enoch’s Shopping Centre (with a stop at Boots for some supplies) and over to the station. (more…)

Today was our one full day in Glasgow. As mentioned before, it’s more of a recharging stop than anything else. Our hotel, the disappointing Express by Holiday Inn, was conveniently located next to the St. Enochs Shopping Centre, and the Arglye Street shopping district – as Glasgow is the second largest shopping city in the UK, next to London.
