After the excitement of the swimming ...

Yesterday evening (Thursday) we set off to explore some of the amazing sites around Athens. Our tour guide was really impressed with our team's knowledge on Ancient Greece.

The students loved seeing the ancient buildings, and particularly enjoyed watching the guards at the Parliament Building. 

We've all been bowled over by how beautiful Greece is, and the weather has been especially kind.

As we jumped back on the bus back to the hotel the jet lag started to kick in, and everyone gratefully headed straight for bed.

We had a later start this morning, but we were keen to eat breakfast and then get to the Stadium 

We are all really excited to be competing in the Olympic Stadium. Such an incredible venue - and interesting to think of all the famous athletes who had competed their before us in the 2004 Olympic Games.

Today we'll be competing in athletics events and we're all feeling confident after the swimming events yesterday.

Have to dash now!
