More images of Team USAEven in the most confusing cities to navigate, a traveler can usually count on his bus driver to know the way around town, but that was not true for American hurdler Kerron Clement.
On Sunday in London, athletes started to arrive for the Games. Though London expected the visitors, traffic was still snarled around the airport. Two-time medalist Clement tweeted about the troubles from his bus.
Um, so we've been lost on the road for 4hrs. Not a good first impression London.

Athletes are sleepy, hungry and need to pee. Could we get to the Olympic Village please.

Never a good way to start the Olympic trip, but as visitors continue to descend upon the city, expect more tales of lost bus drivers and bad traffic. It's part of the package when the Olympics come to town.
