Back to Zhaoqing!

We went back to Zhaoqing for two days on Friday and Saturday to lead a rowing session for the students (the 'Oxbridge Experience'!). No photos yet but some on their way.

There was a massive lake and a few of us stayed overnight for an early morning row in the sun. The coach there was 2 metres tall and MASSIVE - he'd been an olypmic torch-bearer not long before and we all saw and posed with his torch (they're allowed to keep them - only the flame needs to be continued).

The students got a little time on the water and we ran a rowing machine competition with prizes for the students with the best time (although I actually won, hehe)

4-hour bus ride back afterwards we sang lots of songs and made a racket.
