A University rowing 8 having a paddle on the river.

They looked like they knew what they were doing

The entrance to Christ's College. We didn't know but Google did.

On 'Midsummer Common'. I'm sure it's called a common so they don't have to mow it.

'Christ's Pieces'. The parks look a bit on the scruffy side, but there are quite a few.

Apratments with a river view and their own moorings.

In the Grand Arcade (the one with some shops)

Walking across Cambridge

2024年9月23日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

Easy day today. Just a random walk into the city centre and then home via a supermarket near our apartment. It was pretty random as I hadn’t looked up any city centre destinations, and we walked on Christine's memory of a tourist map, my phone, and the name of a mall. We found the pedestrian and cycle bridges, separated on the bridge, over the river Cam. We walked along the river's edge and, using a set of subways, under the main road into Cambridge. We ended up in the Grafton Centre, but it turns out this will be redeveloped for other uses, so many shops were empty.

We wandered around for a while, then decided to walk to a functioning mall - the Grand Arcade in the city's centre. We walked past one of several parks - weirdly called ‘Christ’s Pieces’ - which has something to do with nearby Christ’s College, I think. We found the Grand Arcade and went in. A bit expensive for us, but very nice. Saw a display with the new Smart EV - a nice looking 4-door saloon, but a lot bigger than the original Smart. I didn’t ask the price.

From there, we navigated our way back via a large Tesco supermarket, where we bought a huge bag of groceries. We then went back home to rest as it was a long walk—over our 10,000 steps today.

Later in the afternoon, we walked in the other direction to a small Tesco Express for the things we had forgotten at the big one. Such is life.もっと詳しく
