Cirque De Soleil - Varekai

We travelled through to Glasgow to watch a touring Cirque De Soleil show at the SSE Hydro. Having seen the wonderful Luzia in Toronto we had high expectations but were pretty disappointed by this show in comparison. It would probably be quite impressive if viewing for the first time with the colourful costumes and large set. The atmosphere at the venue however was not great - a huge cavernous shed. The show was heavy on the slapstick comedy and very light on the gymnastic and circus acts you would expect from Cirque De Soleil.

We stayed at the Village hotel in Glasgow and enjoyed nice swims in the 20 m pool on Saturday and Sunday.
