After a layover in Reykjavik, our plane landed in Glasgow about 10:45. Iceland really knows how to treat visitors. Huge, luxurious restrooms, fresh food, and quiet. Several flights were scheduled but no announcements were made. People simply read the board and got in line. I slept at least three hours if the first leg and one if the second. Best flight I ever had. Steve and Mary didn't do quite as well. The customs officer gave us directions for the bus, warning against over-priced taxis. Everyone we've met has been helpful and welcoming and we've done pretty well understanding their accents.
We wandered around the city to get our bearings and encountered a street band called Clanadonia that played bagpipes and drums. It was ferocious, heart-pounding music that would stir any clansmen to battle. Lunch was fish and chips at Chippy doon the Valley.
Tomorrow we are taking the hop on hop off bus tour and then visit a distillery. But first, a good night's sleep!
