We managed to get tickets to the Olympics Kayak event that took place today, and even though I was a bit of a sceptic about it all, it really did turn out to be a great day out. Kids loved it, easy to get there (ok we were not at the main sight), everyone was really friendly and helpful, and the military folk were especially excellent.
Pity it was just heats today, so no medals ceremony, but all in all a good day.
The venue
Current Olympic champs (Slovakian twins)
Irish Lass

Only down side, was the cost of the food. Fish and chips was £8.50 and a coke was £2.30, bottle of water was £1.60 (I think).
