Ruby Tuesday: Rowing in Hamilton




Hamilton is one hour's south of Auckland. This is where fellow blogger Pete lives.

There are six bridges which span across the Waikato river. The New Zealanders are very good in rowing. They are hosting the 2010 World Championship Regatta which will take place at Lake Karapiro, September 12-19th. New Zealand secured the rights to hold the 39th World Rowing Championship in 2006.

I am especially proud of the twin sisters Georgina and Caroline; EVERS-SWINDELL. They won gold in the Athens and Beijing Olympics and they are a great inspiration to my girl students.
