Pushing Myself in Glasgow

- Pushing myself in Glasgow. After falling in Dublin I resolved to take it easy, that is until the live show last night when I mentioned I may skip Glasgow and the majority of folks strongly advised against it. So I hit the streets of Greenock and Glasgow to push my limits and please the masses. I was surprised at what I found in Glasgow. A lesson well learned. Enjoy this adventure from my British Isles cruise on the Regal Princess.

I am loving this series. Thank you for letting us follow along!❤ Sounds like you may need a vacation from your vacation😂
I was raised in Glasgow and hung out at the museum all the time. We learned more from the curators than you would ever learn in school.Thank you for making me homesick. ☺️☺️
I was just thinking the same. Now I want to go hame!!
Glasgow is my home city. Spent much of my childhood with my siblings exploring the city and on cold or wet days, Kelvin grove museum kept us entertained and sheltered until it was time to return home for dinner and bed.
Nicely done, sir. Train system in Europe is so easy to use and clean. We in America could use their system as an example.
Unfortunately not. The strikes going on here in the UK and the after effect of COVID have ruined our train service. I used to get one train from Durham to Southampton direct. Now it's at least 2 changes! Once you've booked you're never quite sure it's going to run. 😔
Should try Korea or japan.... 2 of the best in the world
Hi Richard, I have family in Scotland and England and what you said was true but unfortunately nowadays the train system has gone downhill quite badly but not too sure how the rest of Europe is fairing. Travelled around Europe 2019 and definitely the trains were amazing.
I agree. Even with the strike in England, the train service was amazing. Just got back a couple of days ago and had a marvelous time.
We enjoy the trains in the Schengen area of Europe as it’s so easy to country hop when you’d like. Riding the tube in London was anxiety-producing though. 😆
It takes a certain type of person to appreciate Dali. One time while visiting in Florida our group decided to explore the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. We began a guided tour together, but by the end I was the only one left. One by one my companions dropped out of the tour and went outside to wait in the garden. We still laugh about it. Glad you got to see a favorite painting in person, Tony! Your efforts are very much appreciated!
The must See "Melting Clock" was a huge disappointment
My dad is a Dali expert. He’s testified in court as an expert. He owns a Salvador Dali gallery in California.
Cheers Tony,enjoyed this!
The drive from Glasgow to Ayr via Greenock and Largs,is the great journey most tourists miss!
Pretty sure most folk want to miss Greenock 😉😁
That museum is a castle! Beautiful I have yet to go to a museum without a crowd. What a joy to be able to actually take your time and appreciate the art without being jostled.
That's not a castle, that's just a Victorian building
Our Castles are a whole other level of grandeur
Appreciate your commitment but please be careful and take it as easy as possible. Not worth feeling miserable the rest of your trip! Thanks so much and enjoy!!
Hi Tony. Looks like this was an amazing day. You got out on your own and you were blessed by the museum and seeing Dali. Something you may not have seen had you been with everyone else. Still an impressive amount of steps considering the bus and train ride. Can hear it in your voice, you truly enjoy this experience. A memory for a lifetime ❤. Glad you feel better. As always thank you for all you do.
You looked less tired today! It’s amazing what a good nights sleep can do for you!
Well I am glad you enjoyed Glasgow and you got to see all that amazing art it perks and we enjoyed you sharing it with us! So cool that you got a haircut there.
Tony if you ever get to Spain, there are day trips by train from Barcelona to Figueres. Go to the Dali museum. Make sure your ticket includes access to the jewel collection. Your mind will be absolutely blown!!!
Tony, thanks for taking us along on your journey. In my years I have come to appreciate museums and fine art. Glad you’re feeling better, and looking fresh up top from the chair. Safe travels.
Love how you’re approaching the excursions on this cruise. Kudos for taking public transportation and solo exploring, and sharing all the details. Your very honest and straightforward style has really earned my respect.
Well done Tony. You spent the day as a traveller, not just a cruiser. So satisfying. Travelling is testament to our enduring need for exploration and understanding.
I grew up in Glasgow, left in 1993 but as a 12 year old and older I used to catch the bus across town to look at the dinosaurs and stuffed animals and I used to stand a long time in awe at the Dali painting. I used to do this when I was bored. These days you go on TH-cam.
I have found anywhere in the UK they do a lot of walking. I never realized you were an art lover. That was a great visit. Thank you
I can’t get over all the great artists housed in that gallery! Good for you, Tony! Your efforts are inspiring!
The work you put in to making these You Tube presentations is beyond commendable. The content is always so informative and a pleasure to watch. All the best from a Glaswegian that lives in Jersey…the next island over from Guernsey.
I’m glad you went out on that tour of Glasgow. It’s a city rich in culture with beautiful architecture. It’s also my home town which I haven’t been back to for many years. I hope you have a good rest now
My city...I was born there, spent my childhood in Greenock, then studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the Mackintosh Building before it burned down. When I lived in Glasgow as a student I used to go to the Art Gallery and have coffee at the weekend when I was a bit lonely in my student flat. All the museums in Glasgow are free, by the way. He could have made this video just for me. I wish he had seen the shipyards in all their glory. I live in the Scottish Borders now but there is no place like Glasgow. I loved every minute of this video - thank you for bringing back so many happy memories!
I started traveling independently when I was 19. I am now almost 67 and have spent time by myself in many cities around the world, with London in 2019 my last solo trip. Tony, don’t you feel a confidence boost? It is hard to put yourself out there, do it alone, make mistakes, etc., but then you have amazing adventures, broaden your life experience, and get the “I did it!” moments. So, so cool… Great job, Tony!
What a gorgeous museum! It’s a work of art in itself! We didn’t stop in Glasgow on our cruise two weeks ago, although there were four major ports we did stop in, allowing my husband to track down his grandparent’s home, outside of Edinburgh. BEAUTIFUL country!
Those French impressionist paintings are wonderful❤
That’s great that you were able to see Dali’s painting of the crucifixion, and of course, the others. 🖼️
Oh how wonderful you went to Glasgow, I'm actually originally from the Greenock area and recently returned from a 5 week trip home. You showed how easy it is to find your way around Glasgow and how affordable it is to wander its streets... so glad you saw the Dali... what a moving experience. Enjoy the rest of your cruise stay safe and please don't ever change....😊😊 Michael aka Bampot.
Glad you made the effort to see Glasgow. It is such a fascinating city. Too bad you missed Loch Lomond. My grandfather, from Scotland would always sing the song to us. The highlands are magnificent if you ever get the chance to rent a car and explore the area it is well worth it. 😀
Thanks for bring back memories of Glasgow. Was stationed near there in the 70's and again a few years ago.
My favourite place to visit in Glasgow is the botannical gardens. Glad to see you were able to get the full use of the tour bus after sorting out the ear phones.
The Hop On Top Off Bus Tours are definitely the way to go. I love taking them when I travel.
Glasgow a great European city
Love Scotland 🏴
Thank you so much for sharing that, I felt as if I were in Glasgow again after two months. Apparently, all the hop-on hop-off buses in the UK (same happens in Belfast and London) and also in the Republic of Ireland give you a map and earbuds when you get on the bus and when there isn't a guide on it. I envy you at the Kelvingrove, as I wasn't able to visit the 1st and 2nd floor, I spent 2 hours and a half only on the ground floor, and it closed after that.😢 Anyway, I think Glasgow is a wonderful place; it is safe, and I hope I can go there again.😊
I love that museum. There was a special Egyptian mummies exhibit when we were there. So fun to see some of the same sights. Thank you for being brave Tony! I love to see you experiencing the same things as my husband and I do on our travels. We quite often take the “Hop On/Hop Off” busses and even ride them two full routes before deciding where to get off for a while. All depends on how much time you have of course!
Wow, you are definitely taking one for the team. Thank you for your best of the best cruise videos. We enjoy every minute traveling with you.❤
Take care of yourself, Tony.
Thanks for taking us along!! Loved it!
Thank you for a wonderful tour😊
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing!❤

Thank you for taking us along on your journey. So interesting!
Thank you, Tony, that was GREAT!
Thanks for the tour
Very proud of you! Another great travelogue!
This was great! Thank you for taking us along!
Excellent adventure Tony! Thanks for taking us along. Stunning painting never knew it was there! Awesome video~Cara 😊
Dali's crucifixion is my favourite piece of art. I can still remember seeing it for the first time when I was a bairn on my first visit to kelvingrove.
THANK YOU for taking one for the team!
A fantastic city. Friendly people with great restaurants, architecture and nightlife.
Thank you for taking us with you. You did well!😊
You go, Tony, what an adventure. Once in a lifetime and you took us with you.
So happy you had a great adventure! Very impressed with everything navigated safely and on time. Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks Tony for making the effort. Loved the paintings
Tony. Thank you so much for taking us along!
Tony that was great!! It was perfect. You're the best at what you do, and this solo journey was like being by your side the whole day. Thank you.
So good to see you dug deep and got to see Glasgow!! Thanks for sharing!
This has been one of my favorite v-tours that you've done. Loved the museum, the architecture, the paintings, the works. You showed just the right amt. And the little waving hand - goodbye to the HOHO bus. LOL. Thank you Tony. xo
Glad you had a good day!
Another OUTSTANDING video Tony!!! Thank You So Much!!!
Looks like an awesome adventure Tony! Thanks for sharing!
Kelvingrove is my favourite museum. I'm Glaswegian and have spent many hours walking round it. I like to listen to some classical music while admiring the paintings, it gives a deeper emotion to the experience. Christ of St John of the Cross is a different level though. Glad you enjoyed your time in my city and my country. Haste ye back.
Hey Bro, Thanks for taking one for the team!! Great content. I almost feel like I can take Scotland off my bucket list now.
Tony, thank you for showing & explaining your step-by-step (no pun intended) adventure. It's really helpful to get an understanding of finding and changing from train to sightseeing bus, and back. So glad you enjoyed it and were able to see something so special to you! 👍🛳
Tony this is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are A1! Thank you for enticing us to do the British Isles!
So so glad you got to our Beautiful Art Gallery. Yes The Crucifixion Painting just gets ye in the feels.
Thank you Tony! We appreciate you 💚
Great video!! So awesome to see some of what your enjoying. Thank you Tony🎉
Thanks Tony that was amazing! So glad you saw that painting in real life! Glasgow is a great city!
Wow well done! The beauty of international travel. I am glad you had a great day.
Wow! Beautiful artwork in the museum by so many of the greats! And so nice that it wasn't crowded! ❤
Thanks Tony, we truly appreciate all the work you put into these videos.
I can’t thank you enough for videotaping all this for us … what an amazing adventure ur having .. ❤
Glad you woke up feeling great, loved the video.❤
Well this was a great paced day...well planned and so rewarding. Today you looked like you really enjoyed it at your pace. Maybe more days just on your own? That museum really looked beautiful and so many interesting galleries. Thank you for taking us along. Really enjoyed.
Of interest to potential visitors, that was the Transport Museum at 4:54 (also free entry) with the masts of the Tall Ship, Glenlee, poking out on the other side of the building (a Tour Bus stop). There is also a Rembrandt in the Art Galleries. 🙂
Tony, a great tour of Glasgow. We love art museums. Thanks for taking us there. HOHO bus looks like a great ride
Very nice. I'm Glad your having a good time Tony!
Love this. Yes. You do it for us, and that is why we love you. Again, the architecture is amazing in all these vids. The train systems in Europe are one of my fav things about going there too. Loving the museum. Awesome it is free!! So happy your fav Salvador painting was in there and definitely one to ponder in reverence and silence. So many well known artists. Now, the donut stop famous or not, would be a winner stop! Thank you so much for going beyond and giving us that tour. Great example and message for us. ❤👍
It’s such a blessing to travel and see the world! Enjoy!
Great solo adventure! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for the trip to Glasgow. Thank you for sharing the beautiful artwork as well!
It is always a treat to see the original artwork that yyou have seen on the printed page. Thank you for sharing your day adventure with us. Seeing the buildings is enjoyable too
❤ glad to see you well!
Tony love your taking us on the day with you. The art museum was beautiful. Love that you saw the art that you did. Wish I could travel with a cruise again. Maybe some day. Have a wonderful trip.
Excellent collection of art at the museum! That donut was a work of art, too!
So cool Tony. Thanks for taking us along. I love checking out the sites and cities on the city buses and trains. And yes know your limits.
Hi Tony, I appreciate you taking one for the team & exploring Glasgow with us in tow! Each time I watch your vlogs I feel like I'm right there. I also like that you post frequently and wait on the notification lol. BTW your hair looks great!!
Tony, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. So happy you are ok. You are truly dedicated and we are grateful. Continue to have a great trip.
I love that painting. Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing that!
Thank you so much for venturing out. I will be on this cruise in a few weeks so I have been closely following your posts. I am planning to venture out on my own and use public transport and HOHOs at most stops so seeing what you have done has been very helpful!
Great trip as always! I love all the sights you are taking me on! 😁
I love all the bakery shops also!😋 Glad you decided to venture out! 💕😁
So glad you went. I didn’t want to pressure you. I am living through your eyes. Scotland is my dream. I am going to be so close Sun as I head to Belfast…
Thank you! Glad you weren’t sore or too tired!
Glasgow looks like a lovely city. Thanks for exploring the public transportation for us Tony. Beautifully shot vlog. 🥰
The art in the museum looked beautiful, and the pastries in the bakery looked yummy!
Really enjoyed this one Tony. Very well done. Thanks
I’m so glad you saw the Dali painting. It was beyond words. My favorite place that you took us was the doughnut shoppe. 😂 yum! 😋
Loved it. Glad you're doing better. Great museum. It seemed to be worthwhile to take the trip, especially when it's easy enough to get around. Beautiful architecture too. Thank you for sharing.
Be safe Tony,love following along with you
Awesome. So glad for you that it was such an amazing day 🎉
Great V-Log today. Glad you were able to walk the Glasgow tour. I also found that rests on the bus and in the museums are very helpful for a fulfilling day.
You rock Tony! I love your honesty & authenticity.
Thank you, Tony. My family and I cruised out of Dover last summer. We visited many of the ports on your itinerary, including Glasgow, on the hop on hop off bus. I am reliving the memories and sharing the link with my family. You are doing a great job, Sir!
