Hello, Canada



Wednesday, the pentultimate day of my Olympic adventure, promised to be something different. 

On the flight over, I ended up sitting next to CBC News Network’s Heather Hiscox.  She and I chatted off and on during the flight, and after a bit she asked me to come in and be interviewed on the air about my Olympic experience.  By the time I ended up on air on this day, I had been to eight events, so I had had plenty to talk about!

Heather was an awesome interviewer – we talked about my experiences at the event, with the transport, and the overall feel of what was going on.  All in all it lasted over five minutes and was an absolute blast!  It was fun knowing that people were watching at home too!




Afterwards as I was in Trafalgar square, I tried to get into Canada House but sadly no luck!  Maybe next time.
  



The evening brought court volleyball at Earl’s Court!  What a wonderful time to be part of an event in such a historical building. 
 





And for luck, I got to hold a replica torch!
 





As the night winded down… I got a text, which then upped the game for my final day on Thursday…

Cheers,
Vick.
