So, I got myself one and had that for lunch. Cathy came with her children and a friend of theirs. Cathy had managed to get a free ticket to last night's opening ceremony dress rehearsal. The plan was for us to park at the closest train station, then take the train in to the Olympic Park, and meet up with Pete who was working at the park as Technology Help Desk s On-call staff all day long. We were not alone in that thought, as a large crowd also started leaving at the same time.
Trains are very efficient and frequent.
Pete and Cathy drove me to Soli's house and then went on their way. All of us were very tired, but had a great time. Spent the day walking around the Darling Harbour. From the Darling Harbour, found my way to the Town Hall Station. Took the train to the Circular Quay station where the harbour ferries come in.
