Caught the train into Cambridge this morning - enjoyed all 11 minutes of it. Walking from the train station into Cambridge we passed the Big Ass Burritos temple, which took a little explaining to Em and Thomas, but they got it pretty quickly and started giggling like girls.
The architecture of Trinity College was awesome, and we went punting on the River Cam and rode past many famous colleges that make up Cambridge University. Our guide explained that Trinity College is the wealthiest of all 32 colleges

The streets were lovely, with all the shops crammed in, and the tiny streets. This is certainly a place we'd come back to, just to explore the shops and take it all in.

Dear 5/6 White and Miss Ferguson,
I visited Cambridge today. We went punting (rowing in a boat with an guide). There was a duck that kept climbing up onto our boat, and the duck was quacking like it was talking to us. Weird I know. We visited a sweet shop called Hardy's. We bought white chocolate bar with smarties in it and a chocolate game console.....mmmm chocolate.
From your awesome classmate..... Emily
Cool facts:
Sir Isaac Newton came up with the theory of gravity when an apple fell on his head while he was in Cambridge.
