A day at the Commonwealth

Intro 
I don't actually have tickets to see the actual Commonwealth Games but yesterday I went to the Glasgow Green. There were so many things to see.
 
My Photo skills there... 

A Ferris Wheel Experience! 
So... I went on a massive Ferris wheel! It was the one from M 'n' D's. They had brought it to the Glasgow Green! Here are some pictures I took... 
 

 

 
View from the big wheel 

The Peoples Palace 
I went to visit the Peoples Palace for a short while. (I didn't go into the museum bit.) I took a couple of pictures of some plants. 

 

And here is a photo of a model of the Peoples Palace... 
 

The Doulton Fountain 




 

Sorry some of them aren't the right way. 

The Templeton Carpet Factory 
This Factory is over a 100 years old! Here is a Website about it. 


 

Virgin Media Race Bolt 
What is it- A really long stage with a track 20-30 metres long with a massive screen the same length next to it. People sign up to do it and they say there team name or individual names and it comes up on the board. The person/group of people get ready on the track and Bolt comes up on the screen in a running position. When the beep goes the person/group of people and Bolt start running and basically the person/group of people have to try and beat Bolt. 

The Barbados Rugby sevens came to Glasgow and they tried it. There were 5 of them so three of them went first... 


  
3,2,1... Go


They were so close. I'm pretty sure they lost by 0.11 seconds or something! 

So after the first three the last two went... 


 
The one standing up is called Jay he had already down Race Bolt before and is the fastest person who has ever done it!

 
Guess what? Jay beat Bolt with his friend just behind him!!!!! Bolt has been beaten!!!!!!! 

Sierra Leon Refugee All-Stars 









There was lots of music and the Sierra Leon Refugee All-Stars where a hit :)  


That's it for now Folks! (I Love that!) Anyway... That's the end of this post... see you later :)
