The Olympic Village: The Insiders View Via Twitter

The athletes have started to arrive in the London Olympic village. Although the buses got lost on the way there (taking four hours to go about 25 miles). Now inside, the Olympians are snapping photos and sharing them on Twitter.

Offering us mere mortals an unparalleled insider’s look, here’s a roundup of some choice Twitpics so far…
