Hi all. I am writing this from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we we have a one week camp to acclimatise to the heat before flying to Beijing.
It is great to finally be on my way to the Paralympics. My last week in Australia was a flurry of activity, fitting packing in around training and media interviews. I collected my uniform from the wedding dress shop where it was getting altered and am happy to say that it fits!
We flew out of Brisbane airport to Sydney on Saturday morning, before meeting up with the rest of our team for the flight to Beijing. Having left home at 6am saturday morning, I finally got into bed in KL at 3am Sunday morning AEST.
Our hotel- Palace of the Golden Horses- is amazing. I feel like a princess. So far all we have done is training (swimming and gym), so I havnt seen much of malaysia besides the pool and the hotel. This afternoon we head to a local shopping centre for some retail therapy.
We leave for Beijing on Sunday
