Edinburgh and Manchester
october 26 2007
Edinburgh... Oh, how I wish I was there!
It's a pity the children need so much, otherwise I would grant myself a last minute booking.
Last year the band went to Edinburgh and had a wonderful time performing, and I have the dream that I will perform with other bagpipers in Edinburgh too.
It's such a beautiful city, so full of history.
Edinburgh Castle is marvellous!
It towers high above the city in majestic glory.
No wonder couples choose it as their favorite weddingplace.
It's so interesting to know that already in 850 BC people lived on the rock.
That's no phantasy. Remains are found during recent archaeological excavations.
Edinburgh is a city full of cultural events.
You can go without plans and find yourself entertained all the time.
Operas are performed at different locations during the theatre season.
Untill november 4 you can enjoy the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, and from 16 - 18 november 2007 Fiddle 2007. You'll be surprised by the reels and ceilidhs, and all the traditional music.
It'll make you come back again and again.

Christmas is ofcourse is a wonderful time in Edinburgh.
The Light Night, the traditional German Market, the reindeergarden of Santa, the Edinburgh Wheel, the Great Scottish Santa Run and Winter Wonderland.
Don't feel sorry when your favorite hotel is booked.
Manchester is unique, in another way.
The creative spirit has lead to the industrial revolution, and the spirit still excists.
The good of the old time is kept, and the innovative tendensies are seen all around.
You can see futuristic design in architecture mixed with the expressions of the past eras.
The same is true for music.
Either listen or play yourself, and be caught in the enthousiasm and renewal of styles and sounds.

Don't forget to have a look at the architecture.
Some hotels are pieces of old art at the outside and of new desing at the insight.
Others combine a modern look with traditional hospitality.
Don't forget to ask at the desk for the present shows, and other events. Or for the nearest museum.
Like Edinburgh, Manchester has individuality and character.
Enjoy your trip!
