United KingdomCambridge is home to the 4th oldest university in the world, and includes 31 colleges. It is a very walkable town, and most of the colleges are right in the center. We took a Hop-On-Hop-Off tour to get an overview, and then walked around to see more buildings up close. Here are some views of the city from the top of Great St. Mary's Church tower, including a street market, and a photo of the towerRead more

Here is King's College, where we went to an Evensong to hear the choir. It is composed of boys from about age 8 through college age, and they sing beautifully!
Queen's College is next--and the Mathematical Bridge that connects the college's two banks. The boats going along the river are called punts. Punting is a favorite pastime in Cambridge.
And some more colleges in the next photos.

The Eagle Pub has an interesting history. The back bar is where British and US Air Force chaps hung out and wrote graffiti on the ceiling using candles, lighters, and lipstick. It felt like we were in their presence.
This is also where Crick and Watson lunched, worked out the structure of DNA, and announced it to the patrons.

Nous rejoignons la ville universitaire,Read more

Um es kurz zu halten: Cambridge hat mir bisher wesentlich besser gefallen als London. Jede Universität besitzt einen traumhaften alten Touch mit jeweils einer eigenen Kirche und riesen Gärten. Des Weiteren ist die Stadt geprägt durch viele kleine Parks und enge Gassen sowie viele gemütliche Geschäfte.

Un grand trajet est prévu pour aujourd'hui, un peu plus que 300km. Nous faisons étape au camping à Cambridge, comme le 21 juillet. L'installation est faite en deux tours, trois mouvements, et nous partons, comme des vieux habitués, en ville avec les transports publics. Cette cité universitaire a encore plein de trésors à nous montrer. D'abord ce sont nos estomacs quiRead more
