Schlagwort: Olympic Torch

Hi guys,

the Olympic Torch was on Wednesday in Belfast and I was there. Belfast has organized a big celebration, to welcome the torch. Martin and I have waiting for the torch, a little bit outside from the celebration, because it was at the main places to much scramble for us. Besides we had more place to make pictures.

As the torch finally came, we are run with the torchbearers through the complete city, to make good pictures and to see the torch.

It was very exhausting, but we have got many good pictures. On the end of the run, the torch came on stage in front of the city hall. There was lit, a big fire in a goblet.

A interesting information incidentally: each torchbearer has his own torch, so it exist 8000 pieces.
I had never thought, that really each his own torch has.

Best regards from Belfast
Benjamin

This year the olympic games takes place in London. Before this event there is a torch relay around United Kingdom. Fortunately the torch is also in Belfast and we can see the event at first hand. Therefore I went, after the work, directly to the City Council, where should be a big show. This place was spacious separated and you need a wristband to come in. Unfortunately Benny and myself had no wristband, that we could get before the event for free. So we went to a point where we should see the torch and indeed we have seen the torch and the whole convoy. I was so facinated that I ran parallel to the torch. The mood along this way was amazing: the cars honked,  the crowd called and the torch runners were so happy. Destination was at the City Council where was a huge crowd to see the olympic flame.  At the end they stuck the flame into a small container. If you want to see the very close recordings, have a look at the following videos and pictures.
