Paralympic's

As promised I am going to write a post about my trip to the Paralympic's yesterday.

So I headed over to Nick's house at about 2 in the aftenoon as the original plan was to drive up to Heathrow to pick his mum up from work and then to go into London from there. In the end she came home first so I had a few hours at Nick's just watching TV and getting excited about the trip to London we would soon be embarking on. Once we finally left Nick's dad drove me, Nick and his mum to Wokingham station where luckily we were just about to miss the train to Waterloo meaning we chose to drive up instead, allowing me to sleep the whole journey. Once there we got the Jubilee Line to the Olympic Park where I got very excited and started acting like a little kid at Christmas. The park is huge! We walked around a bit and went through security etc before deciding to go get some dinner in McDonalds (as I had been told it is the biggest in Europe or something), it was indeed enormousness with about 30 counters etc, so we left Nick's dad to get the food and headed out to find a table.

After eating we headed into the stadium which was completely packed, almost every seat was taken and had quite a good view after being warned they wern't great seats, I couldn't complain about them. During the time we watched we saw, long jump, discus, shot put and lots of running. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and had a lot of fun with all the different Mexican waves that went around the stadium. We stayed till about half 9 before deciding it was a good idea to make a move to avoid the 80,000 people all trying to leave the stadium at the same time. Got the tube back and then drove back to Nick's for the night.

I  hate tubes and seem to hate them a little bit more every time I go on one, they are hot, squashed and make me feel sick! Glad I don't have to go on them everyday. Anyway this is the end of my post I shall now show you some photos from my trip :)
