We walked from the hotel to the city centre, and went into the Soo Delicious café in Union Street for breakfast. Shirley had a bacon roll and Scott had a bacon and sausage panini.
We then walked down to Discovery Point and paid to go in. It's all about the Antarctic expeditions of Scott and Shackleton and is very interesting.
We then explored the ship Discovery itself.
Next door to Discovery Point is the new(ish) V&A Museum. We went in for a look around, and were pleasantly surprised it was pretty interesting, as we'd heard some poor reviews. It had a nice sheltered outside viewing platform.
They're still developing the waterfront area, a metal whale sculpture was just being installed next to the V&A.
We then had a walk through the city centre, seeing the local landmarks like the Desperate Dan and Oor Wullie statues, and the Caird Hall.
We had a bit to eat at Coffee & Co, and had a bit of a walk around before going back to the hotel for a bit. The hotel has a fine wooden staircase, and some history with Winston Churchill.
Later in the afternoon we drove out to Cineworld and went to see the James Bond film No Time To Die. It was pretty good.
In the evening we went to the local Phoenix Bar for a drink before dinner at the Rama Thai restaurant. We had mixed platters with chicken, beef and pork with various sauces and salads. It was all excellent, highly recommended.
We had a drink on the way home at the Old Bank Bar.
