Today was our big Rock
Choir day. Andrew and Bowie set off home whilst we got Rock Choir ready.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't playing ball as Storm Floris arrived bringing
with it very strong winds so our performance on the steps of the Dome was cancelled
and replaced by an extrs performance at Brewhemia - an amazing German themed
bar. We met up with other Rockies which was great. We sang for an hour with
some of us on a stage and others round the balcony. James loved it and
sang along and danced, gaining a few fans in the process. We were all
buzzing when we finished.
Next performance was at Space Triplex which was not easy to find but we made it
eventually. We were organised into our groups and waited in the cold
until it was time to go in and sing.
By this time we were tired so got a taxi back to the house.
Another beautiful day.
After breakfast we set off to the nearby bus stop to get the bus into the city.
It was quite a long drive - 40 minutes - to Usher Hall. We had decided to do
the City Sightseeing bus so that we could see as much as possible. As we drove
round we spotted some Rockies gathering on the steps of the Dome so we went to
support them. We then went to see Paddington followed by a lunch stop on
Princes Street. Edinburgh was now very hot and very busy. We had a walk
through the Princes Street gardens and then back on the bus.
Bowie and James were getting tired so the BCs went back to the house. Graeme
and Elizabeth had a walk down the Royal Mile where the Fringe was in full swing
with performers and visitors. We also had to go and see the Greyfriars
Bobby statue and visit his grave. After a quick beer we set off on the long bus
journey back.

After we had visited the city, Andrew and James climbed up Arthur's seat overlooking Edinburgh.
