Tourists

We had a lazy Sunday morning, and a leisurely breakfast whilst more energetic people in Cambridge ran around the streets in the annual Chariots of Fire charitable relay race. Most of the lycra-clad teams had dispersed by the time we hit the streets but we did spot quite a few people proudly wearing their medals.

A relaxing day wandering around Cambridge with the words "are you punting" ringing in our ears. Punting on the River Cam provides the ultimate Cambridge tourist experience of sitting in a flat-bottomed boat, being pushed along by a Uni student with a big stick, and seeing the lawns and buildings of numerous Colleges. We didn't punt.

Instead, we climbed the narrow winding staircase of Great St Mary's bell tower and enjoyed 360 degree views of Cambridge. Bonus for us, the bell ringers were fully employed while we were up there. Our views were accompanied by the peals of the "Cambridge Chimes" with the bell tower swaying beneath our feet.Meer informatie
