Sleep !!!!

We booked our first accommodation in Cambridge ... neither of us has been there for many years, and it's a nice place to battle jet-lag.

A minor hiccup with the train service from Stansted Airport to Cambridge being out of service this weekend, but we found the bus terminal and arrived only slightly later than originally planned.

After a loooong hot shower, we had enough energy left to wander down the road, find a pub, and settle into a cosy corner for a pint.

Our chosen watering-hole, the Champion of the Thames, was one of the pubs on the list for the [infamous] King Street Run challenge. Initiated in the 1950's, participants in the Run were required to down 8 pints, at various locations on King St, without 'leakage' i.e. without urinating or throwing up. The penalty for 'leakage' was another pint.

We couldn't find any reference to the penalty for falling asleep at the table, but better to be safe than sorry ... we wandered back to the comfort of our hotel and hit the pillow.Leer más
