“Hallo, this is to the Olympic Village here yes?”
Olympic Village, what? Here? Uh how did you end up here for the Olympic Village?
“At Stratford?”
Duh, poor tourists encountered a sleepy commuter brain, plenty of those of a morning in London, “Yes, that’s right”, I smile, no longer baffled that there was the prospect the confines of the Olympic Village had been extended overnight. They were on the right platform to get the train to Stratford.
My first direct encounter with a visitor to London who’s here because of the Olympics. I guess it really is going to be happening after all!
It’s a lovely sunny day here at least. The major transport disruptions have already started and you get a free sauna on our poorly ventilated trains. All this for free with your Olympic Games ticket! Welcome to London 🙂

How exciting, the games and all!

I’m finding myself starting to get a little excited by it all. There have been so many Olympics volunteers walking around in their uniforms I’m thinking it was someone’s crafty ploy to get us grumpy Londoners all a bit more interested – certainly working for me 😉

Excitement is a great thing and hosting the games is a matter of pride! I mean that in a good way. 🙂
