What a great day ahead today as we have tickets to the womens hockey at Olympic Park. The match is between Australia and New Zealand however it starts at 8.30am which means we have to leave our hotel very early. It takes about half an hour to get to Olympic Park on the tube and then another half an hour or so to get through security and walk to the hockey arena within the complex. Rain is forecast for today so we have packed our raincoats. I am really looking forward to seeing Olympic Park for myself as we have heard so much about it here on the news.
I haven't got much time now but I will try to quickly write about our fantastic day at Wimbledon yesterday. We caught the tube along with 50,000 other people to the tennis on a beautiful warm sunny day. When we arrived at Wimbledon there was a huge queue as apparently there was trouble with fake tickets circulating around. Once the queue started moving it wasn't long and we were inside those hallowed gates. Gee, it was great to see the whole spectacle unfolding in front of us. We made our way to Court 1 and were delighted to see that we would get to see Sam Stosur play in the second game. We were sitting next to a couple of Aussie's and we also seconded two Venezulan guys to make some noise for Sam - she tried hard but the Spaniard was just too good.
