Standing by the Cop 22 mascot, getting ready for the Glasgow Central Under the Station Tour
The tour was great and Paul the guide was fantastic.
Part of the basements had been used as a morgue during WWI. Some of the stories of how the families were treated being made to pay the bill for the shroud and left to cart their, father, brother, or son home themselves was a total disgrace and shame on the government.
Glasgow’s newly upgraded Underground/Subway
Next stop was walking around Maryhill, where both Linda and I were born.
Back at Largs
The Pencil, as it’s known, commemorates the Battle of Largs between the Scots and the Vikings in 1263

We have already done the sight seeing in Singapore so this stop off was just a relaxing 5 days.

A change of scenery and climate. First night at Singapore’s Boat Quay The meal was lovely.
Temple just outside our hotel.
