The sun was shining when I left Heathrow but it was a bit cloudy on arrival in Glasgow

I got the express bus – which wasn’t very express as I had to wait at least 40 minutes for it to arrive – into the city centre. And from Queen Street Station it was just a 10 minute walk to the hotel where Faye was already waiting for me.

After a change of clothes we headed out into the city. Our first stop was at Waxy O’Connors, a lovely bar that was a bit of a maze.

From there we headed to the Italian Caffè for food and wine, both of which were delicious! We had oysters to start and then a pasta dish.

On the way home we made a stop at O’Neils for a g&t before heading home.

The next morning the weather wasn’t looking great but we decided to head off to see the cathedral. Unfortunately it was closed but we had a good wander around the outside of it.

From the cathedral we walked over to the necropolis, an old victoriana cemetery.

Around 50,000 people have been buried in the cemetery but a lot of the graves and monuments don’t have any names.

The views from the top of the necropolis back into the city were really lovely.

Back in the city we came across a tardis and a funny shaped tree.

As we walked around the street art was pretty impressive.

We visited a little art gallery as we walked through the city.

We decided to go and visit the lighthouse in the city centre but unfortunately it was closed so we popped into the bar next door for a couple of chocolate orange espresso martinis.

Next stop was the Hidden lanes where we stopped for a late Mexican lunch.

And then we headed down to the Clyde to see the arc and the Finnieston crane.

The crane is no longer functional but is a symbol of Glasgow’s engineering heritage.

Near the crane was a building that looked a bit like the Sydney opera house.

After quite a long walk back to the hotel we showered and changed before heading out again.

We stopped for a quick drink in Hard Rock Cafe.

We went to Chaophyra, a lovely Thai restaurant, for dinner. The food was amazing but quite large portions.

The restaurant is the largest Thai restaurant in Europe and is housed in what once was the Royal Academy of music and dramatic art.

On the way back to the hotel we made a quick stop at the Horseshoe Bar which has the longest bar in Europe.
