We hop in a taxi and ride to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. There is both a large outdoor area and two major greenhouse structures. The Kibble Palace greenhouse is a huge glass dome building. Rhododendrons are in full bloom for our outdoor stroll along with other early perennials. The inside areas contain rooms from desert to tropical plants. We take dozens of pictures - a few samples below.
We walk from the gardens down towards the Kelvingroove Gallery and Museum. First we stop at the Brew Dog pub for some local brew an lunch.
The Kelvingroove is a grand old building with an eclectic mix of art displays and natural history and ancient artifacts. Kind of fun. Our sore feet say it is enough for one day so we taxi back to our hotel for a late afternoon nap.
