2. Heading toDresden

✈️ 3:30am start was grim. Handy that son Daire had an early flight to Spain as well- a very useful bag-sherpa for me, particularly with golf clubs. Easier though than last year travelling to Cádiz - as I had to plug into the dialysis machine at 4pm in the afternoon just to get treatment finished and get it packed. for the flight.

On the flight were some of the athletes from Northern Ireland. When Harry our team manager realised they didn’t have transport heading to Berlin- he offered them the spare seats on our bus. That seems to be the WTG way- an extended family.

The hotel is central-not luxurious but the South African squad, some British, Canadian are all based here as well .
After a quick bag drop we trooped down to the International Congress Centre to collect our Accreditation, Goodie Bag and pass for free public transport throughout the games.

I had booked a restaurant for dinner last week using the “Find me Gluten Free app. Brennnessel restaurant” , Great reviews online but I obviously missed the Vegan 🥑 part! Stunning food thankfully or I might have been lynched by the meat eaters😤

🏹Victor is one of the athletes here. If you want to be inspired read his story below. Victor on arriving in Berlin:”I'm just happy luggage came out the other side, security questioned the suncream but the big bag of arrows was grand 😬”
