Visit 4 - We got home at 12:45 from Diving and then got up again at 05:00 to catch the 06:30 train back to the Olympic Park. I thought I would catch a few zzzzz's on the train - no luck - standing room only :(
Was it Worth it - OH YES.
This was the event I was really looking forward to. It was a great day. There were two track events, hurdles as we arrived and then later on the 4 x 4oo meters men's relay. Team GB were in one of the heats - the noise in the stadium was incredible. We also so the Ladies High Jump and the part of the men's decathlon.

Our seats were near the Olympic Flame - this was really spectacular.
We saw these two remote controlled mini's and wondered what they were for. We soon found out that they brought the thrown discus back to the start line, Now that what I call a good idea.
We got home middle evening and I had a good nights sleep. My Live Olympic Experience was over but there was still a few days left on the TV.
As most of my friends know I am not a sporty person. I enjoy live events and watch the world Championship Snooker in April, Wimbledon and I follow F1. This was a whole different experience. The sport was great but the people, volunteers and soldiers where amazing.
