Day 11 - My Adventures in Glasgow!!!!! (Watching Men Time Trial Cycling) (31st July)

After having a lie in, today was my last rest day so I decided to go into Glasgow city centre to watch the Men Cycling Time Trial! (free event on the street) and do a final bit of sightseeing. After some breakfast I took a train from Dumbreck to Glasgow Central Station!

I walked down to Glasgow Green to try and get a space but the queue and street around the venue was packed, so decided to go back into centre, have an early lunch and then go back to a different part! When I went back I found a place to watch the cyclists! I also had a picture taken with another Clyde statue! 

The cyclists got some really good support and it was really good to see how fast they went. (This was a time trial by the way, the winner is the cyclist around the course the quickest). Luckily the weather held and I didn't get very wet. (A couple of quick light showers)

Once all the cyclists had gone past, I decided to go for a walk up to have a look at the cathedral. Outside the cathedral were all the flags of the different countries taking part in the Commonwealth Games! I went for a walk inside the gardens and then went inside the cathedral itself. (On the Monday afterwards there was a World War 1 special service that took place in the cathedral, where I walked)

Then I walked back to the city centre and walked to Albion Street which is where the Volunteer Centre is where back in May 2013 had my interview to work at the games! I then walked to Merchant City and took into the atmosphere of a market and saw a gold medallist from Scotland. (Euan Burton I think was the medallist)

Finally I had a snack in a cafe and then got some more food supplies and went back to campsite via the train. I also had my picture taken with another Clyde Statue.

In the evening I watched the athletics action on the TV while having tea (fish and chips). The atmosphere inside the bar was good especially when Eilidh Child of Scotland won her silver medal. An amazing achievement after so much pressure as the face of the games!

So the end of another day. Tomorrow is my last full day in Glasgow and my last shift at Hampden Park. Time for bed!!
