Olympics

The Olympics are everywhere!

Yes they are, and the time has come for us to go and watch something.  Sadly not at the Olympic village in Stratford, but instead we were off to Earls Court to watch a heat in the Woman's indoor volleyball.  We booked the tickets early last year and originally booked 3, one for each of us, however nearer the time we thought that Josie probably wouldn't handle it too well so she stayed at home in with Nanny.  It's was all pretty well arranged, with the ticket you got a travel pass and once at the venue getting in was very quick despite the airport style security being run by the military.  We had pretty good seats and saw 2 games.  The first being Dominical Republic vs Algeria and the second being Korea vs China!  The first game was pretty quiet however half way through the place filled up with Korean and Chinese people and the second game was very very noisy.  They really cheered their respective teams on.  There appears to be a lot of 'high fiving' in volleyball!
