In Leyton, first we dropped all our belongings in our rooms, freshened up a little and our Leyton's hosts treated us to some hot cross buns. Tea was marvellous and when it ended, it was just for us to catch a bus to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The park contains among others, the athletes' Olympic Village and several of the sporting venues including the London Stadium and London Aquatics Centre. The park of course was built to cater for the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Now that the games were over, it is open to the public. Ah Chuan, I understand, goes to the aquatic centre to swim in the Olympics-size swimming pool on weekends. The park wasn't exceptionally beautiful but it was nice to walk with friends in the cool weather and clean environment, watching the children play or the people taking a boat ride in the the River Lea. While there, you may also want to climb up the ArcelorMittal Orbit and view London from the viewing platforms or take a slide ride. All that come with a fee of course.
