Day 5 - Volleyball and Food

After a reasonably heavy night watching Heavyball last night we dragged ourselves out of bed early to go to Earls Court to watch Volleyball. Surprisingly it was brilliant.

The main attraction was Brazil v China. They are ranked 2 and 3 in the world and the packed crowd had a lot of Brazil and China fans. The neutrals seemed to er on the side of Brazil - possibly due to reasons of aesthetics. The Brazilian number 8 was our favourite.

The match seemed to be heading to Brazil when an epic fourth set comeback from China rocked them. Brazil recovered to win the final set and the match. The final match saw the team of Russian giants take on a Japanese side who on average were about a foot shorted (one of them was 5 foot 3!). We left before the end but unsurprisingly the giants were on top.

After that we went to Roganic for lunch. It was awesome - more about that later.
