Most of the TOBO/CBC curling crew have arrived by now. About 140 faces...most of them familiar from various events over the years! (Athens, Sydney, CBC, Winnipeg....even some aussie friends...although not on the curling!) In fact incase you're an Aussie & have no idea what curling is, check out: www.curling.ca.
Had a couple of days training at the venue in Pinerolo with an old friend from BCTV in Vancouver who now works in Italy!
That is done now...and we are started the usual meetings/rehearsal process. Have eated well...checked out various restaurants over the last few days...and of course the bar at the 'Tre Dente', where the rest of the crew are staying. A livelier & more casual hotel than the Relais Barrage. Didn't quite get to the Aussie Pub (The Ayers) up the road which is where many went after the crew BBQ tonight.
Here is the view from near the hotel (not taken by me)....and the view from my room.
ciao for now.
