Tattoo Madness

16 shows down, 9 to go!!!
This trip is going crazy quickly!
The shows are going well, dancing for pretty much full houses every night, which is quite an amazing feeling. Can't believe that in 1 week we'll be waiting to go on to do our last 2 shows of the tattoo.

I have had so many amazing opportunities during this trip. We performed in the mini tattoo at Glasgow and I went to a reception after to mingle with all the bigwigs!! We also met the man who wrote the music for Brave and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which was incredibly cool! The troupe is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe festival next week as a part of a special show to promote Australia which is pretty special! We just finished filming for the BBC and DVD.

I've done so much sightseeing which is awesome :) We went to Holyrood palace where the Queen stays when she's in Edinburgh. We did Edinburgh Castle and watched the 1 o'clock gun being fired. Also saw Mary Kings Close which is the underground streets that got covered over with new buildings, that was really cool :) Braved the dungeons yesterday which was a hilarious experience and the photos say it all!! Went to the cute towns of Selkirk and Linlithgow and had a look around :) Off to Stirling tomorrow to see the castle and the Commonwealth Highland Dancing Championships. Along with all the tourist destinations I have spent countless hours exploring the shops of the Royal Mile, Princes Street and George street, buying way to much to fit in my suitcase lol :)

Also checked out a little of the night scene... Went to what has to be the filthiest club in Edinburgh! Smelt like a cross between urine and marijuana and to top it all off I was stone-cold sober lol! Going to a different club tonight which is playing 80's and 90's music!

Can't believe that in 5 days my family will be here. So freakin excited :)
