The Stadium stairs

At last we are here and I have been impressed by how easy and painless it was to get to this point. Travel cards for all zones were included with our tickets and there were no queues to get in through the highly efficient and swift airport-style security. Smiles all round and cheery volunteers everywhere! That really made such a difference to what could have been a logistical bad dream...
Fat foam hands, cheerful purple and happy conversations.
Then at last, after "spending" (it's a once in a lifetime experience) in the 2012 shop, we began to climb the stairs to find our seats...
More tomorrow :-)!
