Venturing out to Helliniko once again, we were thrilled to see our very first wheelchair rugby game. It was the perfect first game with Canada pulling through in the end to beat Germany. Wheelchair rugby seems to be a mix of basketball, volleyball, rugby, and bumber cars; and it's fantastic! Rich landed an interview with the president of the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation, which made a day of waiting at the rugby stadium well worth it. Andy and Tasha ordered (accidentally) a private car back to the Olympic Stadium and spent the rest of the day going from venue to venue, getting into places where they shouldn't been allowed and eating food free food. They also managed to interview a number of people and catch the wheelchair basketball game between long-standing rivals, Great Britain and Australia. Let's just say there were a lot of very happy Australian fans leaving the stadium afterward. How to survive in Greece: When your mobile phone is your only means of communication with anyone, it is always a good idea to NOT leave it sitting on the computer desk in the media lounge when you leave. For further details, ask Andy.
