London Olympics

Me and Karen spent the day in London today at the Olympics.  First stop was Hyde Park for the Open Water swimming.  The British swimmer Keri-Anne Payne was one of the favourites for the gold medal..
Coming up to the finish.  Unfortunately Keri-Anne only managed fourth place...
We headed over to the Olympic Park in Stratford.  Left to Right : Aquatic Centre, Orbit Tower, Athletics Stadium and Karen.
We had tickets for the Women's Handball Semi-final in the Basketball Arena...
The giant Norweignians (in white) supported by thousands of fans and hundreds of cow bells beat the South Koreans to reach the final..
Heading out of the Olympic Park..
We caught the new cable car over to the North Greenwich Arena..
Great views over the North Greenwich Arena towards Canary Wharf...
In the North Greenwich Arena we saw the Women's Basketball Semi-Final.  France v Russia.  It was a brilliant game...
The moment France won...
We had a great day out at the Olympics....can we have it again next year?  Me and Mrs Fellows and the Olympic Stadium...
