Random Tour Event
The dress rehearsal started late today because:
We have 2 buses to take us from the lodgings to the concert hall. The first one came and I managed to squeeze into it (who was the idiot who thought up a bus with 5 seats across??)
The group remaining for the second bus arrived a half an hour late at the concert hall, because the bus driver had mistaken a group of Philippine tourists waiting for a tour of Edinburgh Castle for a German orchestra, and they were duly deposited at the artists entrance of the concert hall. Quite bewildered. Meanwhile, the orchestra players didn't know why they needed a Philippine interpreter on their bus.
