Cambridge

What an exciting time I have had.  Miss Ginny and Mr. Steve took me in Miss Ginny's car.  It was a surprise for Miss Ginny so we didn't know where we were going.  Mr. Steve just gave directions!


We ended up in Cambridge!  This is where one of the best universities in the UK is.  There are 31 colleges that make up the University.  It's a beautiful city.  





We stayed in a nice hotel - just look at all the pillows on my bed!

This is what we could see outside of the window.  The river is called the River Cam.










It looked so lovely, we decided we would go for a trip on the river.  In Cambridge they have special boats called punts which are moved with a pole.




This is me and Tom.  He was our punter on the river.  You can see how he pushes the punt with the pole in the next photo.




And this is me relaxing on a blanket in the punt!  There are lots of bridges on the River Cam that join some of the colleges together.  








This one is called the Bridge of Sighs.  I was sitting with Miss Ginny and Mr. Steve here.
This bridge is made of wood and is called the Mathematical Bridge.  It leads into Queen's College and it is amazing.  What shapes can you see?


 This is me just relaxing in the punt.  You can see a little bit of King's College on the bank of the River Cam just here.









We saw this amazing clock in the middle of Cambridge.  The funny creature on the top is called a Chronopharge!








We had a wonderful time.  How lucky am I?
