Second day of Olympic fun. We were off to the Olympic Park today and the water polo arena. But how to get there? The London transportation site said take the tube out to West Ham , then walk for 25 minutes. Ummmm. I had heard from a local cabby, that the high speed Javelin train runs om St Pancras to the Stratford International station in 7 minutes. It is right outside the Olympic Park. Hmmmm. I know the tube ride there is only 30 minutes or so. So needless to say, we tried it. Just under 1 hour later we were there. It actually drops you at the Westfield mall. Ha, since we had time to kill...

And the mall was full of athletes and officials, as well as spectators (and shoppers). Then it's exit the mall and into the OP. wow, that was easy. This main entrance puts us right next to the water sports. Since we have time we wandered around. The London 2012 Mega Store had an hour queue, so we didn't bother.

Wanting to get into the venue and find our seats, we rolled in. First stopping at the water fountains. This is another tid bit we picked up. No liquid allowed in- but empty water bottles are ok. And there are water fountains around the park. So filled up, we headed to the stands. What a great pool. It's in a temporary building and we wonder if they will fill the pool in afterwards. Our tickets weren't issued together, so hubby sat on the other side of the media box and I on the other.
