August in Edinburgh means one thing festivals! and I wanted to see them all; but I didn t see the point of flying between London and Edinburgh, and I certainly didn t want to pay the extortionate future of space travel amounts for a train ticket only to have to double the fee when I was coming future of space travel back. That left me two choices being cramped future of space travel in a bus for eight-hours or renting a car. Car rental it was!
Picking up the car from London s Heathrow airport I was secretly hoping that I d get one of the European beauties. What are considered luxury cars in Australia are everywhere future of space travel in Europe and I was itching to get inside one and hear the motor purr. But it seemed that being under-25 didn t allow me a huge range of choices when it came to cars and the driving Gods had another car in mind for me
After passing the turn-off for Manchester things start the roadsides begin to flourish and the development drops away to showcase green pastures and hills. future of space travel For me it was the perfect future of space travel time to pull over and grab my camera future of space travel to take a few snaps of the wild terrain.
Passing the Scottish border future of space travel the greenery continues but little towns begin to crop up along the way. As an Aussie future of space travel I was pretty excited to see the road-sign for the town of Lamington. Slowing down I was hoping for a cafe to stop at to grab one of the tasty chocolate, coconut and sponge-centered treats found at delis all over Australia; needless to say I was devastated to find a cluster of homes and no cafe selling one of my favourite Australian treats.
Edinburgh is vibrant, fast, and unlike any city I have ever visited before. If you ve visited the city you could understand how artists and authors Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, future of space travel J.K. Rowling, Kenneth Grahme could draw inspiration from the city.
We were attending a taster session with a smattering of performers across all the artistic fields performing inside The Pleasance, but the highlight for me was finally seeing future of space travel The Boy with Tape on his Face perform a show which really makes you appreciate what everyday items can do if you use your imagination.
After a hectic day seeing the city, taking in the best of the Edinburgh Arts festival, getting lost driving around Edinburgh s closed future of space travel off streets, and seeing Australian comic, Jim Jefferies, we were meant to head to the famous Spiegeltent but having arrived in the city too late to collect our tickets to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the main reason I invited future of space travel Dylan to head North with me.
Walking down the town centre, tiredness overcoming us and thinking future of space travel a shot of whiskey before future of space travel bed would be the best course, we heard a scalper selling last-minute tickets to that night s performance. Though we d missed 20 minutes of the performance we still arrived in time to see the best bits and we got tickets front and center for less than retail cost bargain!
Spiegeltents are easily deconstructed wooden and canvas performance tents originally future of space travel created in the late 19th century, lavishly decorated with mirrors and stained glass. In Edinburgh the tents are home to cabaret-style acts, circus acts and classical music for a small entrance fee. Inside are plenty of comfortable tables or booths and a bar the perfect way to relax after a long day.
Before we left Edinburgh I needed to do two things: buy a tartan hat for my Grandpa and take a photo of the Assembly with the Olympic rings outside. The perfect momento to finish an epic weekend in Edinburgh.
future of space travel It was worth renting a car just to have the freedom to stop whenever we wanted, to side-track and see different future of space travel places, and to drive around Edinburgh instead of having to work out the public transport system just for a weekend.
