The Commonwealth Games are now over. Sunday night was the closing ceremony, we went down to the Yarra River and sat with some friends. They did not have any screens along the banks, which made it hard to know what was happening, but every now and again, there was a burst of fireworks from the MCG.
At about 10:20pm the whole thing came to an end, there was a huge fireworks display, from the MCG, the Fish on the river, and from some of the buildings in the city. It was really loud.
Another highlight of the night was that I got to go to the 84th floor of the Eureka Tower here in Melbourne. I went up before we got to the Yarra (on the way) and it was amazing. The lift was really quick, much faster than i thought it would be considering how many floors it had to go up. The floor has 360 degree views of Melbourne. It was night when I went up, so I could not see very far, but the view was great all the same. I have a few photo’s that I took while up there, I will be posting them up later.
When I have uploaded the photo’s from the Closing Ceremony and from the 84th floor, I will add some links to a new post.
-Hurgh-
