Just a couple of days before I left London we decided with the girls to do the Olympic Games Tour. You can visit the construction site and dream about the 2012 Games already. It was raining of course but that was the last chance for me and we wanted to do it together.

We had to meet with our guide at the Bromley by Bow tube station. He took us for a 2 hours walk to Stratford – the beginning was very good actually but then it was way too long….especially walking in the rain. All the way I did hope that we really gonna go behind the fence and walk inside of the stadium. Until our guide said goodbye I did hope.

 Just travel to Pudding Mill Lane DLR station and there it is. Anish Kapoor’s massive tower is under construction already. Zaha Hadid’s swimming centre is done. From the sides the two extra wings will be removed once the games are over. Because of those you cannot really see the wave shape of the building right now.

Next to the building site there is a cute little coffee shop to have a rest and have a nice hot chocolate. Perfect for a rainy day.
