The Birds Nest

Here I am in front of the 2008 Olympic Stadium in Beijing. It is called 'The Birds Nest' because of the way the metal looks like lots of twigs formed together to make a nest.

As a sports geek it was a very exciting place to visit and I had great fun wandering around it and seeing where the Olympic flame was left burning during the games. I even went inside and I got to wander around the seats and see the track where Usain Bolt made his name 5 years ago.

As well as the stadium, the famous 'Water Cube', which held all the aquatic events of the 2008 Games, is still standing and looking spectacular nearby.
