So after spending four and a half hours on the train I finally arrived in Edinburgh. After hauling my bags off the train I realised that maybe I should have condensed my three bags down to two as I now had to walk ten minutes through the city centre to get to Zoo. After battling the crowds I finally made it. Because we where all arriving on different trains we all arrived at the venue at varying times during the day. I arrived to find half the crew had already arrived and had started construction on the scaff frame-work that will eventually become the “black box” of the Monkey House. After introducing myself and attempting to remember everyone’s names I got stuck in and helped out.
Once we’d finished assembling the scaff structure in the Monkey House we moved up stairs to do the same in the Aviary.
Once we’d finished in the Aviary we were treated to a crew meal out at the pub. After food and a quick drink we returned to the Monkey house to start putting up the LX Bars after getting three of these up we called it a night, threw all of our bags into a taxi with a couple of the crew and the rest of us set off walking to find our accommodation.
