When I first arrived, I went to the Edinburgh Playhouse to collect my ticket. Yes, I booked a place to watch the "Disney High School Musical." I do not really know what the musical was all about, but it is certainly very popular. So, I thought, why not find out what the hype is all about!
Then, I walked along Princes Street....soaking in the sun, listening to the Scottish bagpiper in the background, and also treated myself to a huge cup of Mint Hot Chocolate Soup. hehe...chocolate soup. It was huge...but heck, I hardly go to Edinburgh. :P It was topped with sinfully yummy whipped cream and pieces of mint choc!
I sat down in Princes Street Garden sipping my hot cuppa, and watched the day go by. It felt like the perfect thing to do (although in actual fact, I have alot of other things to complete, but I decided to leave them all behind). I also spent some time at the National Scottish Art Gallery.... hehe...which is also not something I would normally do. But it was quite enjoyable.
After that, it was shopping all the way. Having lived in Glasgow for nearly 2 years now, I have to agree that Glasgow is THE place to do shopping. The shops in Edinburgh were stretched along the road and there was not as many variety as in Glasgow. But a few of the shops are bigger. I did not buy anything....but it was nice just to do window shopping.
The musical started at 7pm. The whole theatre was filled with kids....(obviously coz it is produced by Disney!) The show was entertaining, with catchy music. The story was pretty expected....you know, teenager love story. Apart from the noise made by excited kids, I enjoyed it.
By the time I got home, I was knackered. It was a fun and lovely day. :)
Also practised my photo taking skills yesterday...so here they are!
