Just before heading over here we managed to get some tickets......Rugby 7's, the finals of the Athletics on the Saturday before the Closing Ceremony and the Closing Ceremony. We had brilliant seats throughout. At the R7's we were in the first section by the pitch with near level views across the pitch and located conveniently close to the bar ;-) which sold Light (why would you?) Medium (huh?!) and Heavy Beer (proper!) - Bring it on!
For the Athletics Finals we couldn't believe it - we were 8 rows back directly in line with the Start / Finish line !! In fact so close we were too close to take photo's properly as we had fitted Zoom lenses to the cameras and had to walk further up the stands in order to try and get the athletes in the image! Mind you that also put me closer to the bar......which sold the same beer as R7's but (as you might expect) no Malibu!! Oh no?! Whose going to drive ?? :-)))) I like this sport lark!
The Closing Ceremony? Think the images speak for themselves - quite spectacular and again great seats - this time up in the higher regions of the stadium giving an excellent all round view. If only we could have recorded Dame Edna and kept it for the web and sharing with our American 'cousins'!

Fab Photos Dave & Lisa, absolutely marvellous. Well done. By the way we have recorded all the Final Ceremony for you - not as good as being there - but we have captured Dame Edna's speech in full, possums. Hope the good work continues.
