A day at the Olympic Park!

olympic park 2012




When the Olympics started I can sadly admit I was one of those secretly wishing to go on holiday and avoid the "mass" of people and overly crowded tubes. But, I have to admit, watching the Olympics on TV really got me into the spirit and equally made me want to experience the atmosphere for myself.
Fortunatley, I managed to get hold of some last minute Paralympic tickets to see the athletics.. and what an experience it was. Heading to Stratford, the atmosphere along the way was literally electric. I go to university in the heart of London, so I am used to the normal busy atmosphere.. but suddenly London felt like a completely new city. Everyone was so happy and the volunteering staff were constantly cheering getting everyones spirits up!

And what about the actual sports?
I cannot commend the Paralympic athletes enough for what they do. They are a real inspiration to us all and it was thoroughly enjoyable to watch them.

Overall, it was one very fun day. I know I'll look back on it and say "London 2012 - ye I was there"!!
