Sighing Bridge.


Winnie and I

Today we went to Cambridge. It got its name because there is a river called Cam. There was a bridge over Cam, and eventually through the years, it turned into Cambridge. There are 31 colleges in Cambridge. The city was so pretty. We went on a walking tour with Sally who was in her 60's. She was so nice and knew a bunch of stuff. My favourite part of the day was punting on the the Cam. The view from the river was so nice. We went into Kings Chapel. It has great fan vaulting on the ceiling. The chapel is amazingly intact. There has been no major restoration on the chapel because the building has fared so well. We then spent a little time in the market doing a little shopping. I got some Turkish Delight (like what is in the Narnia series. I had like a pineapple flavour and a rose flavour. It is like a jelly with powdered on it. Pretty interesting. It started pouring and it was like 1 1/2 to 2 mile walk back to the train station. I had my poncho but my legs and shoes still got wet.
