We named a duck Arnold and fed him scrumptious food.
I think he was a little happy to have friends.

 

A spontaneous trip to Cambridge can never go wrong… or can it?  Our Sunday trip to Cambridge ended up consisting of closed colleges and cancelled tours (a.k.a we couldn’t climb the steeple of Great St Mary’s like we wanted to).  We did however arrive in Cambridge and head straight for Market Square where we bought ourselves some beautiful button friendship bracelets.  After wandering around Market Square for a good half hour we headed on over to Great St Mary’s Church and King’s College, where we were eventually influenced to join a punting tour at 11am.  We hopped on board the punting boat with 10 other people and saw the many beautiful sights of Cambridge along The Backs.  We then strolled through the town taking in the sights of the many different gardens, parks and shops.  

All in all the highlights of the day included napping in Jesus Green, eating salted caramel fudge while punting through The Backs, watching all of the locals ride their bikes through town (I swear Cambridge is very much like a smaller version of Amsterdam - in terms of bike riding), watching someone tight roping in the middle of a park and viewing the various historical buildings which is what makes Cambridge, Cambridge.
