Princes Street, Edinburgh

A full on day at the Festival on our last day in Edinburgh. A good run in the morning along the Water of Leith and back along the reservoirs, then time to catch up on Blip. With Susan still in the wheelchair we caught the 44 into the city and onward to the first destination - the Surgeon's Hall to see the Carole King Story. This was essentially the same as the James Taylor Story we saw on Monday, except with Carole King's songs which made it not quite so interesting as it might have been.

From there it was a late lunch at an appalling place called Buffalo. We ordered a Vegetarian Chilli, which cost £11.95 and received the most miserly portion with awful flatbreads. When we mentioned it to the server, she tried to attract the attention of the manager who ignored her. When we came to pay the bill the manager tried to tell us the chilli was popular and well received and that, after all, the chilli was expensive to make. He did remove the cost of one meal from the bill, but we won't be going back there in a hurry.

Our next destination was George Square to see "How to Win at History", a fast paced musical about the life of the 5th Marquis of Anglesey, Henry Cecil Paget, who was by all accounts a pretty unusual member of the aristocracy. A superb performance with such clear words, amazing acting, and tremendous vocal ranges. It took a while to get into the story but in the end a tremendous show.

It took a while to get into comedian Dane Baptiste at the Pleasance too, our third and final show tonight and last at this year's Fringe. Apart from one or two dodgy moments, he gave quite an interesting performance based on GOD - the evils of Gold (ie wealth) Oil and Drugs.

Today's shot and the extra were taken while waiting for the 44 back up the hill to Balerno. I had the camera on F8 at 100, giving a 6 or 7 second exposure time as an Edinburgh Tram went past. Susan's hip continues to improve slowly, although we couldn't have done all we did without her in the chair. It was good to see how helpful and well organised all the venues were for less able people and the buses with their ramps and wheelchair seats were excellent too.
