Our trip included tickets to see the morning session of the swimming where we had excellent seats directly opposite the start/finish line.

All our photos are a bit rubbish as in our rush to leave the house on Friday night we forgot the camera, so they've all been taken on a camera phone.
The Olympic park is huge, but after lunch we had a bit of a walk around. Here's the Orbit with the stadium in the background...
some props from the opening ceremony...
and dotted around were pretty areas filled with wild flowers...
We had a good day out - I don't have much interest in sport but the atmosphere in the aquatic centre was enough to incite my interest. And those athletic swimmers were enough to incite anyone's interest. Well, have you seen the Australian male swim team?
I was enjoying your photos and then my eyes fell out when I saw the swim team :-) What a great photo of the water....NOT! Whew! I don't know how you managed to get that picture without shaking!
ReplyDeleteLucky you !

Definitely like the swim team!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to actually attend the Olympics and to be able to take such nice shots. Ah, who am I kidding. Those guys can swim by here anytime they want!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous you are able to be at the Olympics and in the Aquatic center. Having a swimmer in the family, we watch it all. Ryan Loche's Grandmother hugged and kissed my son on the cheek a few months ago, so we are rooting for him.
