My trip to Glasgow




I have planed a trip to Glasgow, I will be there from Thursday to Sunday. I decided to travel with Icelandair, and stay on Ibiz hotel in Glasgow. 
The plan is to go at six o'clock in the morning to the airport with the bus, the flight is at 8 o'clock. The flight takes 2 hours and we arrived at Glasgow airport at 11 o'clock, Glasgow time. 

Thursday
The first thing I do after leaving the airport is do find a taxi, the Icelanders are well known here in Glasgow. The taxi driver ask where I was from and when I said Iceland, he said "aha shopping?" and of course I said yes. When I was at my hotel I paid the Taxi driver 14 pounds, and got my bags, who were empty by the way. At the checking-in table I got my card for my room and went up on third floor where my room was. My room was very comfy and sweet, after seeing my room I left my bags and took my wallet and went out. My hotel is on a very good street because I just walked up two streets and to my left there was the main shopping street. HM, Forever 21, Primemark and New look, I think I am in shopping heaven. The rest of the day I was in the stores spending over 60 pounds and yes that was planned ;). If I got hungry I just went to Starbucks and got a hot coco and a sandwich, when the evening has come I decided to leave my bags at the Ibiz hotel and go out fancy. I pick an Italian restaurant, the waiter were so funny and nice. I ordered Bologna lasagne, that tasted super good and the for drinks I wanted to be cheap and get a glass of water. Yes I ordered a glass of water, clearly not the best idea of the day because it tasted horrible, and got me thinking how lucky we are in Iceland. I was so thirsty and ordered one glass of sprite, but the waiter forgot about it and never came with it :(. I ate my food and then paid 10 pounds and give tips for the waiter even though they forgot about my glass of sprite, that's how good mood I was in that evening. Before I got to the Ibiz hotel, I decided to get something to drink and some Glasgow sweets :), that was the best idea of the evening because I tasted the best water in Glasgow and the best cupcake in the world, Mmmm so good. After buying 2 more cupcakes, I got to the hotel and watch the television for little time, and got do sleep after long hard shopping day.

Friday
This day was little different because I decided to look around the town and try not do spend a lot of money this time. I found a taxi and said to him to go do Hampden Park because there is Celtic's soccer court. I have to get some Celtic stuff like t-shirt and football. Then I will go to Whole foods because there is super foods and more. This takes most part of the day and I have to get something to eat for dinner, before it gets dark. I take cab to the shopping street, and get Mcdonalds for dinner because it is not available in Iceland and it is cheap. I do not use underground, I like getting a cab even though it is expensive. I decided to eat my meal in my hotel and I walk to my hotel, after eating and watching little television, I go to sleep. 
Saturday 
It was a sunny day like always and I wanted to shop a little because tomorrow I was leaving. The plane is going early like 8 am early, and this is my last day in Glasgow. I wanted to go and see Glasgow school of art, that cost £8.75 pounds and after that I will go to Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum but that cost the same. Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum is a magnificent stone building, this grand Victorian cathedral of culture has been revamped into a fascinating and unusual museum, with a bewildering variety of exhibits. It was a wonderful day of arts and beautiful buildings.  After all this walking and looking I decade to go back at the hotel and start to pack in my bags. Then I will go to sleep, after excellent and exhausting day.
Sunday 
I went yearly to the airport with a taxi and checked my in and then got some breakfast in the airport, I did not get breakfast in the hotel like I always did, because I was to tired. The plane was very comfortable and had television on the seats like last time. After 2 hours in the plane we finally landed at Keflavík airport in Iceland. Good to be home.
