No statistics, just my personal Olympic highlights!

Remember the game "Catch me if you can"? Well I have finally slowed down, no more tickets....just 20 channels of continued BBC TV Olympic coverage.... and now, I just want to record some of my best memories of the first week of the 2012 Olympics...what a week it was!

Champagne and salmon with our good friends Consuelo and Paul and then off to the Aquatics Center for Men's Synchronised Diving. The boards were quite a distance for us to judge the dive but we could see the splash and we had a good view of the medal ceremony where the USA took Bronze.

The park was massive and the crowd flowed well so we explored the wildflower banks of the river ..... breathtaking....

Day 6   -  Beach Volleyball has got to be one of the most exciting sports ever created - for the spectators! We arrived with marching bands and sand-castles, security was a breeze....

Our tickets were great...I think the background of the Horse Guards Parade and the London Eye is the most memorable setting of all the Olympic venues. Beautiful athletes in bikinis and beach dancers set the stage, combined with an insanely enthusiastic disc jockey and the "Mexican Wave"...well, even at 8 am the next day, it was just fun!

You just never know when a pretty dancer might ask you to Cha-Cha, and someone else across the stadium has her zoom lens ready!

Back to the Olympic Park on Day 7 ....the crowds were intense with ALL the venues open for competition. I have been to Disney World at Christmas and this was huge, but the masses seemed to move respectfully and timely. We met up with our two guests for the day - Khalid, Rick's trainer and an EY colleague and fellow Auburn grad, Marianna.....a full afternoon of Women's diving ahead of us!

We walked around the whole park, circling every venue, and then back to the District Line at West Ham Station - almost too tired to stop at the pub....

Almost!!!
