Edinburgh and Glasgow

Me and Lisa had a long weekend up in Scotland to see some shows at the Edinbirgh Festival and to watch the European Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow.  Arriving in a busy busy Edinburgh on the Royal Mile...
Hypnotic evening street performers...
We got the train over to Glasgow for the European Gymnastics Championships...
The Brits started well...
 We had a great view, right down on the floor. 
Georgia-Mae Fenton on the bars...
GB faded away towards the end and finished fourth.  The Dutch were very happy to finish third.  It was their first ever team medal...
Strangely all the medals winners flags were red, white and blue strips?!?!
Walking back to the station in Glasgow...
The next morning we had the most fantastic breakfast at the Mother India Cafe....
Crazy street performer from Vancouver.  He is balancing on a wobbly board, climbing through a tennis racket (stringless) and then started juggling knives...
We spotted a chippy selling deep-fried Mars Bars!!  It was a hit...
More crazy street performers...
We went to a few shows.  Most were in very old theatres or rooms under old buildings.  This one was in a posh hotel...
Some of the shows we saw.....Lisa wants to come back now!
Bye Bye Edinburgh...Maybe see you next year....
