Bob and I had a lovely afternoon, starting with a 35 minute walk to the Cambridge Punt Tours to catch our 1:00 pm tour along the River Cam. If Wikipedia is to be believed, the River Cam is the main river running through Cambridge and runs for a total of 69 kilometers. If our punter (poleman) is to be believed, Cam was the Viking term for river, so we were on the River River this afternoon.
It was a great day to be out, partly sunny and in the mid-60s. There were 9 of us on our punt (representing England, US, and Croatia), but lots of others out as well. Below are some of the photos from our tour.
apparently named by Queen Victoria.
After the tour, we stopped at Bridge’s Patisserie for lunch. It was great! Bob had a vegetarian arancini, and I had a butternut squash pastry, and we both got side salads. And I’m just remembering now that we were going to take photos…
The only downside of the cafe was no bathroom, but they did have a note posted as to the location of the closest one. Always good to find public conveniences, as this one was called.
It ended up being a good hip day, though we probably pushed it a bit.
