00:00I'm Alice Park and I just arrived at my spot on the Seine for the opening ceremony.
00:06It's about 5.30, I got here around 4, but you have to get here early enough to grab
00:10a seat because, or in my case, a standing spot on the bridge will take you over here
00:16so that you can see, that we'll be able to see the boats as they come by.
00:25And there are seats set up along the Seine for people who have purchased tickets and
00:31this will be the first time ever for an Olympic opening ceremony that won't be held in a stadium.
00:38So I'm going to show you here in a second the vantage point and how things are set up
00:49here.
00:54So that'll be the view of the boats, of the athletes as they come by, and there are screens
00:59set up as well and that's where opening ceremonies will take place for everyone who has tickets.
