Paralympics Hong Kong - Day 9

Hello, thanks Charlie for your messages, I will let Dad know, thanks Ka for your message and good luck with your competition. For anyone calling I am unable to access my mailbox and no numbers are coming up so sorry for not returning any calls. Thanks to Paddy, Gemma, Zara, Jack and Drew for all your messages. Well I was up at 8.30 and about 10 I headed over to Langham Place Hotel in Monkok to see Mum, Dad and all the gang, they are in good form. I met Mum and then went to the pool to meet the other and then Kelly and Leon and I headed down to the lobby and met Dad and we went for coffee and then to the big shopping mal where we met up with the rest of the gang. I headed back to the village at 2.30 and had a kip and then got ready for the opening ceremony. We were all gathered in the lobby and I had left my buggy outside and when I went to get it it was gone. I looked in the lobby and found it but it wouldn't go. I was getting a bit upset cause I knew I wouldn't be able to stand for the evening but the wheelchair I was using before was still at the hotel and so I was thankfully able to use that. We got to the racecourse at 6 and our parade was in alphabetical order chinese style and that left us 2nd last in. It was a great evening and Hong Kong should be proud of the show they put on, and we got to watch the opening ceremony from Beijing, and we saw Ireland. We also supported Isreal and Singapore. We got back to the hotel about 11 and had a snack and chatted to Omer from Isreal and Keith from the USA.
