We decided to head off to the show on Easter Monday.
Showers were forecast so into the backpack went the raincoat and umbrella.
The raincoat came in handy as a picnic rug at lunchtime and to keep off the chill when going from the train to the car at 11pm!
It was a lovely day - a bit too hot at times but we managed to find either an airconditioned pavillion or a breezy spot to have a rest thru' the day.
There were lots of people but not too crowded but then we also didn't line up to get into the samplebag hall or to go to sideshow alley!
Got on the train at 7.45am at Oak Flats and arrived at Olympic Park at 11 - left the show at 7.45pm and got home at 11.30pm - so a BIG day out.
We wandered about and saw lots of stuff. I loved watching the working dogs and obedience trials where we won a Dr Harry show bag which meant I carried around an extra 1 1/2kg of Supercoat dog food in the back pack all day - was it worth it? Bailey says YES! I have yet to check out the Supercoat website were there should be a photo of us with Dr Harry!
We found some seats in the shade to have a rest and watch some show jumping, polo, camp drafting, tent pegging and the mass dog obedience in the main arena.
All in all a good day. Took lots of photo's and had the usual problem of extra cropping on mosaic maker but hope you get an overview of our day at the Royal 2008.
