London 2012



Whilst Coventry played its part in hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, the atmosphere and excitement in London was hard to ignore, so we took a trip to see our friends Jon and Hetty and experience the occasion first hand. 
The crowds at Tower of London were at least three deep but we found a good spot and cheered the athletes as they came by on their first lap of the Marathon. Afterwards we strolled along the river to St Catherine's Dock and took a river boat up to Embankment, where the crowds were even bigger. By the time we met up with Hetty, Evelyn and Myles we felt like we'd participated in the marathon, but we continued along the canal past Mile End Floating Market, through Victoria Park and on to Stratford Station before getting a bus home. A great day out!
