Simlympic Torch Relay - Day 10 - Passau City, Imperial Atlantean Colony of Perseus

Good evening and welcome to the tenth and final day of the Simylmpic Torch Relay. We welcome you to the Imperial Atlantean Colony of Perseus, a bastion of unashamed glamour and unadulterated grandeur. Perseus is the Earth Colony of the Imperial Atlantean Empire today will hold the honour of the only SCJU nation to host the relay before we sent it off in style on its way to Hinawa, Seto for the opening ceremony.



The Flame arrived on-board a specially charted Poseidon Airlines Trident Supersonic Aircraft from the previous hosting nation of West Novland. It was greeted by an Honour Guard from the First Imperial Marine Guard, also attending the welcoming ceremony was the Persusian Governor-General Sir Matthew Drummond-Willoughby and His Imperial Highness Prince Julius, His Majesty the Emperor's Envoy to Earth. Christopher Rikens the Persusian Sports Minister and the Lord-Lieutenant of Passau City, William Paulkins were also present.



After the welcome ceremony it boarded an open top bus and made its way into the city, disembarking to pass crowds assembled at the King George Botanical Gardens, before joining the large motorcade and making their way into the northern edge of the city and into the Old Quarter, the most historic and earliest site of settlement of what would become Passau City.

Once again they disembarked the bus and passed thousands of people gathered along the beautiful cobbled streets, passing the Persusian National Gallery, St. Bernard Roman Catholic Cathedral, Persusian National Library and Winterton Opera House.





They carried on foot westward and through the Imperial Palace Quarter, passing the impressive Atlantean Arch, built to celebrate the glory and power of the Imperial Empire. From here it passed along Palace Avenue, past assembled crowds outside the SCJU Representative Offices, National Modern Art Gallery and Persusian Museum of Political History.



From here they turned east and headed down Churchill Avenue, where once again Persusians and foreign tourists turned out in their thousands to welcome the torch as it passed the British Consulate, Imperial Palace and the Passau Institute for the Arts and Culture. Continuing down Churchill Avenue they headed south toward the gleaming towers of reflective glass and steel that comprise the powerful Passau Financial District, little more than a run-down quay side only 20 years ago.



From here they moved toward the Perseus National Stadium and Altex Arena where thousands awaited its final leg. The Stadium will ronight host a Finale Concert before the flame departs for Hinawa and the opening of the 10th Simlympic Games. A mighty spectacle has been planned and we await with abated breath as to the delights, drama and hospitality the Setonese people have in store for us. ON TO HINAWA!!!
