The homestretch now. . . Andy and Tasha off to battle their way through the massive amounts of schoolchildren at the main complex to see cycling in the Velodrome that didn't exist. They had a long walk around and then metro ride to Monastiraki; by which time, Tasha's body gave out and she had to go home and to bed. Dauntless Andy pressed on for street interviews and some lost time wondering around. He came home with seventeen interviews, well, tracks anyway.

As evening approached, all headed back to the stadium for some exciting athletics events, basketball, and swimming. Had a late dinner again with all at Tasha's favourite local spot. Joined by Patric from Sweden.

A tragic accident claimed the lives of seven Greek schoolchildren as they were making their way to the Paralympic Games today. Greece is in mourning for two days and much will be excluded from the Closing Ceremony tomorrow in observance of the loss of life.

How to survive in Greece: Expect the unexpected and prepare to be unprepared.
