Cambridge University.

Today I woke up at 5:45 and went for a walk with Ron and Bonnie. Bonnie didn't want to walk very far because she has a sore leg so it was just a short walk



Joanna and Georgina are both away at University. Joanna is at Leeds studying German and Georgina is at Brighton studying Psychology, so today we are going to visit SeSe at Cambridge University. She is studying Law and is just in the middle of her exams.
At 10 o'clock we took the train from Wymondham to Cambridge . It took about an hour and I got some school work done along the way.

We walked into Cambridge and stopped at a coffee shop first. I bought a purple T-Shirt that says Cambridge University. We met SeSe at the big gates to St John's College. SeSe looked just the same from when she stayed with us 2 years ago.


SeSe showed us all around her college. There were lots of old buildings and huge stone courtyards. Most of the buildings were around 500 years old. I was amazed at how high they were and how much stained glass there was.There were old bridges that went across the river and some places looked like they were from Hogwarts in Harry Potter.






The best part of the tour was that SeSe took us punting on the River Cam. SeSe was really good at it.

I had a go and I accidently let go of the pole. We had to go back and get it. Lucky it was standing up and dad turned the punt around.

We went past lots of old buildings and colleges. There were some bridges and lots of ducks.

We got told off by this cranky dude that said we were on the wrong side of the river but everyone was all over the place anyway.

Dad was telling us all how to do it but when it was his turn he couldn't balance so it was up to the girls.

Go the girls!!!









After that we had lunch and then said good bye to SeSe. We walked all the way back to the station and at the end we had to run for the train.
