Olympics- We all wore our green and gold afros and mohawks to
cheer the Aussies… Even though they didn’t compete. Although we did attract a lot of attention by
passers as they wanted photos and asked why in the World we were wearing them.
The venue of the games was at the Horse Guards Parade. The women
were up first. Team China and Russia versed each other. It seemed to me that
mostly everyone went for the Russians. At the Beach Volleyball, we saw people
falling over, whacking the ball with so much force with their bare hands; very
brutal. Ok, anyway the Russians unfortunately lost. They didn’t just lose; they
lost by A LOT of points. When I use capital letters, let me tell you something;
I really mean it! I guess the Chinese team were way too good for them. The next match was played by the men; Germany
and Brazil were the two teams. A few of us went for the Brazilians as their
flag is the same colour as our wigs. No surprise, they won!
In the breaks of each match, these “Horse Parade Dancers” and the
“Rakey Rakey” (people who rake the sand) came on. Also we did the Mexican wave
every now and then. I wonder why?
Covent Garden- Shopping galore! We were allowed to roam around
until the second group had finished watching the Olympics. We went to many
shops, but what everyone was most excited about was M&M’s World. Four story
building, of unmistakeable M&M’s everywhere. Toys, chocolates, displays,
heaven for a chocolate lover like me!
Bella Italia was the restaurant we went to. We had toast, salad
and cheese for entrée, warm chicken salad for main and chocolate brownies for
dessert. Mr McCarthy entertained all with his ‘magic tricks.’ We figured out
his tactic, well he told us straight after.
Going to bed was what everyone was especially excited about, after
this long action-packed day.
That’s all from us,
Marina and Brierley JJJ
