Glasgow

Went the entire route on the get on get off bus. Then went looking for a pharmacy as all four of us are now dealing with the cold and cough.  Got directions but couldn't pin point the location. Terry ask 2 policemen on the street where we could find a pharmacy.  He pointed to the store they were standing next to.  Duh! How dumb do you feel.  She said to them we need drugs.  One of them said get plenty. Once we had our drug supply, we decided to get back on the bus and go to the Cathedral.  Wow, this thing was massive covering at least four stories and a crypt, with little prayer alcoves.  





Then we caught a cab to the Riverside Museum of transport and travel. This contains full sized trains, cars , buses, trolleys, bikes, motorycles, ship models, baby carriages, early subway cars and an entire street scene of victorian era vehicles and shops.  You name it, it is here. It was quite amazing and won Best Museum of Europe. Over 3000 objects.
