Excitement and disappointment at the water polo

So, we followed our visit to the Temple of Tat yesterday with a visit to the water polo arena to cheer for Greece in their crucial group match against Australia - with whichever side won qualifying for the knock out rounds. Here's the venue...
And here's what the view looks like from near the top on the left side...
And here's the Greek team coming on. Sadly, despite having more shots than the Australians, they couldn't make the most of the chances, and ended up losing easily. A real pity. But it was great to see our kids cheering so proudly for Greece (my wife is Greek) and lovely for their grandparents in Athens to see us on the TV waving our flag each time our boys scored. Just wish Greece could've scored a few more...
