Nice sunny day in Glasgow (unusual, I know!), few white clouds on the sky and a good chance for magnificent sunset. so we decided to go to the quayside to get some "fantastic sunset" shots.As it was windy, the prettier half decided to go and wait for me in the bar of the Crowne Plaza hotel, whilst I went on looking for the right spot.
After an hour of scoping for a good viewpoint (unsuccessful I'm afraid!), the sky getting blunter and blunter (flat, lifeless light) I finally gave up and started making my way to the hotel.
"no luck this time" I thought, took a couple of shots "to the sun" and went to the bar. fingers frozen, I needed a drink and G&T sounded like the right remedy... Damn - unlucky again as a small G&T costs a fiver (!!!) and it's not even with some nice, posh gin! well, "C'est la vie". we finished the drinks, sorted the bill with somehow unfriendly barman and left to fetch the car.
And that's when the ridiculous price of G&T finally was worth it! a view I was waiting for...
The conclusion is that if it wasn't for the overpriced and unfriendly G&T (well, the staff was unfriendly, Mr Gordon was OK) we would have gone home with not even one shot! Long live G&T (or any other alcoholic beverage that will keep you longer on - or near - the location!)
