The Fringe Celebration

We had 2 additional days in the Scottish main city and were extremely happy that they coincided with the beginning of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Mark was thrilled that most of the alternative performances were to be arranged in the vicinity of our Edinburgh journey apartment and we actually managed to see several of them.

Being in the Scottish capital when the biggest arts festival in the world begins was very exciting and we actually noticed how the population doubled when all the entertainers and visitors arrived to enjoy the festivity! The city was filled with students, thrilled to present on stage what they are able of.

Mark and I appreciated the open-air street event along the Royal Mile and some free performances too. Mark appreciated most a musical we saw, while I enjoyed best a dance theatre. Throughout the first night of the festival we had a dinner and then went to a great club where we went to a special night play.

On the last day of our stay in the Scottish main city, we woke up earlier, packed our baggage to be prepared and left in our Edinburgh residential home, after which we headed to see 2 comedies that we genuinely had fun with.

After that we still had time and money to had a salad and some delicious meal at the Hendersons bar, which was popular among the non-meat eaters. The feeling was fantastic and we were content that we really had the possibility to see the main landmarks of the Scottish capital and also to see some of the Fringe Festival shows.

I bought a lot of candy and small souvenirs for my colleagues at the office, while Mark bought souvenirs for our two families. Then we went straight to our Edinburgh housing, grab the luggage and took a cab to the airport.
