Wimbledon Day 1

Day One:

We had set the alarm for an early wake-up so we could be at the Wimbledon queue by 6:30-7:00 in the morning and we did pretty well actually, we were numbers 3668 and 3670, a guy snuck in between us somehow.

 This was the beginning of our long walk to where we would eventually receive our queue numbered card which would entitle us to line up to buy our grounds passes, after about a three and a half hour wait.

 Here we are feeling quite successful about having started our way into Wimbledon. They allow 8000 people in to line up so the field gets many lines of people sitting on blankets that the vendor sells you for $10 CDN which you eventually realize that you do need in order to sit down after awhile.

  

Almost into the grounds!

The amount of flower boxes and planters filled with blue, purple, violet and green flowers was amazing, and window boxes were everywhere on the upper terraces where the Members watch from.

Large scoreboard keeps you updated on all the courts, there's 20 courts in all.

The weather became more drizzly and wet as the day wore on so unfortunately we got to see less than two hours of tennis although we were there for twelve hours, but the forecast for Day 2 looked better.
