2:25 Kiwi House is recovering from a busy morning which saw a visit from some Olympic team members. Entry is £5 a day excluding ticketing events. This is a great place to watch the games. Grab New Zealand’s native Moa beer for £4 while you take in a few sports. I’m told that demand will be high for tickets so anyone desperate to pay Kiwi House a visit should get online to secure their place as soon as possible. Tickets can be purchased here.
