For those of you who have forgotten what I look like or have missed seeing my pretty face, here I am... I ventured to Cambridge today, took the 8:45am train from Kings Cross station directly to Cambridge. After losing my money in a machine to get a tourist map, found my way to the center of town and the official visitor's center. Went on a 2 hours guided walk thru the town, good walk, went into Kings College, the chapel is awesome. Grounds are very big. Also went thru St John's College. I learned that Cambridge University is comprised of 31 colleges. Wow... We viewed the river Cam with the punting boats on it, lots of them, looks like it would be a lot of work. Seems that Cambridge's name came from the river Cam and the bridge they built over it, as it was one of the few places that you could cross the river in the early days (1500). Had lunch today in a Pub that was established in 18 something... so old.. was good food and beer. Did a little shopping and more sightseeing and walking, then headed back on the 6:15pm train. Busy day - saw lots, resting my feet now.
