Original
Report written by Dirk Blencke.
(bad
translation by Nikolai C. Kuttler)
We arrived Thursday evening, because we
got no better flight for Friday’s arrival. The day we used to hang around
enjoying the sun and to swim. The hotel was about 18 km away from Athen and
around the hotel was just nothing. But the hotel was direct on the beach J
Friday afternoon was the official
welcome done by Patrick. Something to drink was served. Then we went to a short
sightseeing-tour and a city-walk (together with 3 body-guards – feeling like a
VIP !) to the “Plaka”. A small restaurant was our target where we had dinner,
music and Sirtaki – some of us where victims and had to dance.
Saturday morning we woke up very early,
because the programme was very hard. In the restaurant where we had dinner
yesterday we met the Greek Club-Members and we had a short lunch / breakfast.
The fish-market was the next station… here we got our watch. Typical
SWATCH-CHAOS – everyone want his watch first. Some TV-Teams and photographs
were also involved in this crowd.
The Event themselves were at the
Akropolis. We went there and saw an exhibition with some sculptures made by
sportsmen, artists and some celebrities. We also had the chance to built our
own sculpture with Swatch-Parts, but the source of this parts were not secured,
therefore we got nearly no material for our own statue.
The opening ceremony was held by Hayek
sen. and jun., a member of the IOC, 2 Greek-politicans and… CARL LEWIS (!).
In the evening we had a nice dinner at
a restaurant direct at seaside. There we saw a nice presentation of the new
Diaphane-Collection held by a Swatch-Product-Manager.
It was – as everytime – very nice and
I’m happy to join also the event in London.
(Same with me, I will also go to London
– hopefully – and I will say “Thank you” to Dirk for this report !)
The watch is available in 5 different
colors: blue, green, brown, black and gold. Included in the package is a
kaleidoscope.
Photos from the event you’ll get here.
