Wimbledon

Yesterday myself & 5 others left for Wimbledon around 6:00 am! My day started about 4:30 am when I woke up to get ready for the exciting day ahead. We got to the train station where we rode the train for about an hour to the Wimbledon stop. Thinking that we were on the ball and arriving early, we were slightly wrong. We got in line around 7:30 where I received my line ticket number which was 6,571! People had camped out over night to make sure they had a spot in line for the next day, that is a true Wimbledon fan. So we waited...and waited...a total of nearly 6 hours! The waiting was actually not that bad we made the best of it but were shocked at how long we had been waiting for. By the time we finally entered and received our tickets it was around 1:30 or so!

We finally got inside to find what literally seemed as if it was a tennis city of some sort. Every where you looked you saw different courts with different matches going on. I had never seen anything like it! We spent the day watching match after match, ranging from mens singles, to doubles, to women's juniors, it was so fun to watch. The major matches with the big names were all played on what was known as the Center Court but those tickets were a bit more expensive so we stuck with the cheaper tickets and just explored "the grounds" of Wimbledon. The day turned out to be amazing and the weather was great, we were so lucky! It was an incredible experience and so much fun to finally get a first hand experience of Wimbledon.
