Random Musings - Day #64

When I got to Ayr, the taxi driver said not to visit the pubs around the travelodge hotel. The locals don't take to well to strangers apparently. Better off to be in the city centre.
I went past both the football ground and racecourse on the way to the city centre. I went through the city centre and down to the seafront. It's a little surreal as I got then at dusk. There's a beach, islands and snow on the hills in the distance. Very nice.
By the seafront, there is a children's adventure playground called "Pirate Pete's". I went back to the centre and ate at the west kirk, which was an old church.
One last thing I noticed, on the bus, they only stopped taking cheques on
the bus as of last month.

Random Musings - Day #63

Just going through drawers at work and at home. At home, I've got a lot of papers to go through at some point, probably this weekend. I need to find something the counterpart for my driving licence. Apparently it's quite useless you have both components (that and the photocard itself). At work, going through papers and shredding. I found an interesting post-it note, it said "if you don't know... don't talk about what you don't know!" Which is why I am quiet most of the time!

Ayr
Well I am off to Ayr, which is on the west side of Scotland. The only things I know about Ayr, they have a football team and a racecourse. Ironicly enough, there are races on Friday when I will be returning home. Getting there is going to be a mission as I have to take two trains to Gatwick, fly to Glasgow, take a bus to Glasgow Central and then a train to Ayr. Likely have to take taxi after that as well...

Glasgow Airports
In case you wondering, there are two airports that serve Glasgow. Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which is located near... you've guessed it, Ayr! and 30 miles from the city. The other one is Glasgow International Airport, which is just north of Paisley.

Show us the money
This makes sense. Hand the money to the people not the banks!
