The journey!

My Olympic journey has finally begun. Our team departed from South Africa on the 22nd of July, the flights were very long, we flew via Hong Kong and luckily we had enough time to do a quick swim in one of the local pools which really helped me to loosen up. Our team then went back to the airport and flew to Seoul where we were informed that we had a four hour long bus drive ahead of us!
Finally we reached our hotel in the early hours of the morning, looking forward to a good nights sleep!

The next morning I got into my normal routine, despite oversleeping and missing my first training set at the new pool. Later that day I was served some good food, and then went to the pool where I would be completing the final stages of my Olympic preparation. Considering the long trip I was feeling good in the water and was looking forward to the Games.
