Friday 11th April - We started with a leisurely journey up to Glasgow, travelling first class on Virgin. After having heard a lot of bad reports about the service, we were pleasantly surprised to have a relaxing and restful journey. |

| Spent the weekend in Glasgow, checking out the sights. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The buildings of the University of Glasgow were very impressive. | The Clyde Auditorium, known as the Armadillo. It reminded us of the Opera House in Sydney. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Despite a lot of restoration work on the buildings in Glasgow, there is still more to be done. We saw lots of buildings like this, where the original facades were being propped up with scaffolding while the new buildings were being developed inside. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
