FiveRingFever Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I am so looking forward to this year. I just checked out a London travel book from the library yesterday to start thinking about pre-games sightseeing. I'm expecting a truly memorable experience this year, and hopefully I can raise a pint or two with some fellow GBers while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was side-on to the Eye, by Lambeth Bridge, so I didn't get the full effect. But it was impressive anyway, and having just seen it on TV I'm blown away. We really stepped it up this year! 2012 is on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrisL93 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It was amazing to spend new years in London for the first time yesterday, spectacular firework display! And I saw the Olympic park for the first time with my own eyes as well and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Looking forward to visit London in the run up to the games and of course to experience the event itself! Excited is an understatement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphamale86 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Last year Sydney won the Battle of the New Years Eve fireworks but this year it was no contest LONDON killed it there was no contest. You can tell the excitement is at a fevered pitch there. I am really excited for the opening ceremony after seeing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
