OLYMPICS 2012

After being in all the ballots and no tickets we resorted to last minute tickets, after a week of trying Steve managed to secure some then got timed out at the last moment. We thought this was it, our only chance gone up in smoke, but then I stayed in and applied every two minutes, we finally got somewhere at 6.30 Sunday night and our ticket application was successful. We were so excited but as we applied for so many we didn't have a clue what we were seeing!! It was water polo, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Australia and Greece.And we were in the Olympic Park! So this was 6.30pm Sunday night...we threw some stuff in a bag and drove to London about 7.15 arrving in London just gone midnight to stay in a premier inn at Heathrow. After finally getting a room we slept from 1am - 5am and then up again for breakfast and travel across London to the Olympic park which was around 2 2 1/2 hours on the tubes and walking. We finally got in there at 9.15 ready for the Polo at 10am. It was great we had a great time and then the rest of the day we looked at the other stadiums, trying all day to get tickets for that night but no luck. But glad we got some in the end. I took hundreds of pictures heres a few... There are lots of the athletes, I have included a few you may recognise. They were just walking around amongst us lot!!
