    Juxtaposed Johnstone

    September 26, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After a restful sleep, a filling breakfast, and repacked baggage, we bid Uncle D and his gracious hospitality farewell. Another quick stop into Cairnbaan to visit with cousin B, and we were off towards Glasgow.

    The drive south was heavenly in the Polestar 2. The weather was perfect. Effortless power to pass slow moving vehicles quickly in the short overtaking spots! Wee!

    We made a sight detour into Glasgow city center to return an item at a shop and explore a bit. The central business district looked pretty tired and shabby. Not to mention the horrific rush hour traffic jammed-up on the freeway causing a back log into down town... A managed to deftly navigate us away from the freeways and to our evening destination in Johnstone, just west of Paisley.

    The Lynnhurst Hotel used to be an old Manor house and promotes their venue and lovely gardens for weddings. Unfortunately the hotel didn't have a charging station, so once we unpacked we drove a short distance to slow-charge overnight. For dinner we settled on an Italian restaurant on High Street. The two young servers were quiet entertaining to watch with their youthful exuberance. Service was quick, though not the highest quality food 🙊

    We were excited to head to sleep. Our morning flight to Croatia will start the next chapter of the adventure ✈️🤗
