We all got up early and Jay went to pick up another rental car. We drove about 30 minutes to a Park and Ride outside Cambridge, named for the original bridge in the town that crosses the River Cam.
The city is gorgeous! Cambridge University is made up of 31 colleges. All, criss-crossing the pretty river. The university is celebrating its 800 year anniversary this year.
We took a punting ride down the river with a guide who told us the history of the city and university. The sun was shining and it was a becoming a beautiful day. It was a little cool but they provided blankets to keep us warm.
We spent the day visiting the many colleges and other historic sites. One of the prettiest as King's Chapel of King's College. The stained glass windows were beautiful and covered all sides of the church.
Next it was back to Hitchen where Jay drove us around their town---seeing the first "round-about" built in England. Obviously it was successful because they are everywhere!
We had a nice dinner and then back to their flat for our last night in the UK.
Cheers!
