Day of travel and rain

It was raining quite hard today in Scotland. In fact it rained all night as well. Of course I woke up too early and just lay in bed. I had breakfast at 7:30 and was away by 8:15. I got to the train station by 9. I had to have the car back by 9:30. My train didn't leave Fort William for Glasgow until 11:30 so I just had to chill out at the train station. I had planned on walking around but it was raining too hard. The train to Glasgow was very slow. It is only 100 miles but took 4 hours. It was following in parts the West Highland Way so it had to work very hard and it made multiple stops. It wasn't a long walk in the rain from the Queen Street Station to my hotel which is beside the Central Station. That will be convenient for tomorrow when I catch my train to Manchester. I did Rick Steve's walk of downtown Glasgow. Lots of nice shopping. I changed some Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc we had left over from previous trips at a Mark's and Spencer and ended up eating supper there. I think I am more tired on these travel days then on the hiking and sightseeing days. I am just chilling out tonight. Off to England and Manchester tomorrow.Read more
