Across the Irish Sea

 This morning we leave Belfast and cross the Irish Sea.  The day is filled with lots of down time. A short drive to the docks, waiting for the ferry and then the 2+ hours crossing. As we arrive in Scotland it is to bumper to bumper traffic and a slow ride into the city of Glasgow.  There was an optional excursion of dinner in the town of Stirling nearby Glasgow. We opted to miss this excursion since the highlight was going to be the presentation of the Haggis. It was a 10 minute presentation and the a tasting associated with a Scot dinner.  We opted for laundry then took the easy way and sent it out.   Oh the joy of trying to figure out washing machines in a foreign country will be missed with this excursion.

We make an early night of it. We will have another day in Glasgow.  A word about the weather. It is what our tour director states is typical British Isles weather. A little rainy a little breezey and a smattering of blue sky. I think gray is the predominant color. It is not terribly cold. Coming into Scotland from Belfast for the almost 3 hours it is definitely raining but by the time we arrive in Glasgow the sky lightens up and the rain stops. Before getting to the hotel we get the bus tour of Glasgow.
