18 Days in August, an Olympic Blog

We just came back from a nocturnal visit to the main Olympic complex. We walked outside the perimeter as the rehearsal for the Opening Ceremony was coming to an end. We could hear the music and I can say to you that it involves alot of drumming and bits of bouzouki.

While waiting for the bus we had the pleasure of talking to one of the volunteers for the Opening Ceremony that was very excited about the outcome and gave us some clues, but I do not want to spoil the surprise. What I can say is that the Opening Ceremony will start with an orchestra of 50 bouzouki players. Then will talk you through a brief history of Greece. The Closing Ceremony will be very "folkore" as the lady described it.

Can't wait!
