Olympic Women's Open Water 10km in Hyde Park

IMG_3682 IMG_3687 IMG_3690 IMG_3691 I met up with Ibolya and her work chums, at lunchtime, in a glorious looking Hyde Park to watch Hungary beat GB in the 10km, Women's Open Water Swim. An absolutely incredible spectacle of human endurance and a stunningly beautiful place to watch it. iPhone pictures so not very good.

Our Olympomania reached new levels when we went to see fencing at the ExCel on Wednesday morning. And afterwards, we popped along the DLR to Royal Victoria and caught the Emirates Air-Line cable car to North Greenwich - it was absolutely spectacular.
