Friday... only 1 day left!

Our Friday brought an adventurous trip to Cambridge... here's the report:

At first we went to kings Cross Station to hop on the train, then had to walk into town from the station in Cambridge... that's about an hour and by the time we got there, many had already become quite nervous - well, their bladders had. ;-)

Then we went past several of the oldest university buildings in Europe, Queen's College, King's College, and Trinity College, group pic below:

Really magnificent buildings, filled with hundreds of years of history... but, our students were more interested in the street market that was going on next St. Mary's Church, as to be expected... girls will be girls. Alas, there was one student, who felt inspired by the spirits of the likes of Lord Byron, Sir Isaac Newton, Wordsworth and so on.... T' was Cherry, who halted to retreat from the busy world outside and turned to himself - thoughtful youngster, thou thinkest not in vain! (Shakespeare?) In the afternoon we had the chance to try punting on River Cam ourselves, thereby discovering the beauties of the surrounding colleges and halls of residence. Must be great to be a student there. Anyways, back from Cambridge we went to the London Eye, we had the tickets from our visit to Mme Tussauds - it only took 10 mins and we were underway, experiencing London from above - outstanding views, especially of the Houses of Parliament. See Julia's pics here:

After the London Eye Sight (who gets the pun?) we returned to our hostel and had a rest... after the rest, many of the students did not want to leave anymore. Everybody is getting very tired. Fabian sprained his ankle on the way down from the 5th floor and it's badly swollen now. But he is (pasta) cool about it, so hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.

Good night, London needs a rest! But it is amazing how fast paced life in London is... it's been 5 days already and we're nearly back home as well... what a shame! Nite!
