We went with friends into Edinburgh yesterday (27th December) for lunch at the Slug and Lettuce (yes, that IS it's correct name!!) in the Omni Centre before going to see We Will Rock You at Edinburgh Playhouse. The show was fantastic but I feel that the one we saw in 2009 was slightly better. We still enjoyed it though and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is reading this! If you get the chance, go and see it!! I had wanted to take photos to test out the new camera, but as the announcement at the beginning of the performance said photography and recording was prohibited, I didn't really get a chance to fiddle with the camera. I did sneak these though!!

When we came out of the Playhouse, it had been raining but it was still mild and dry when we left. We had a wander through George Square after drinks at Valvona and Crolla's then we progressed down into Princes Street Gardens and my friend and I went onto the Big Wheel and the Carousel before walking up to George Street with the intention of having dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe but, on getting there, we were told that there was a problem in the kitchen and that they had stopped serving food! We then walked down into Rose Street where we had a meal in Milnes pub which we discovered was a Taylor Walker pub, the same chain that runs one of our favourite places in the Grassmarket - The Beehive.
After dinner, we made our way back to the train station and home. All in all, it was a great day out. Here are some photos taken during the day.
