at the Paralympics I ate...

 A sandwich*. But it wasn’t about the food.

 It was about…

An unexpected surprise to get a golden ticket to go up The Orbit

 

On a spectacular 26c London day.

We could see for miles.

Olympic park was golden at sunset.

And the stadium full to capacity with 80,000 spectators (minus the Royal Box which was conspicuously empty). We sat in row 5, opposite the long jump, feasting on a night of track and field events. While the audience went wild every time Team GB was in a final, it was a good-natured audience, spurring every contestant on.

The perfect way to end an amazing 4 week Europe-Extravaganza.

* I ate a record number of pre-made sandwiches in London full stop. I’d forgotten what a British institution they are.
