Today I traveled for about an hour and a half by coach to the city of Cambridge - which is basically just a huge campus with some cute shops. There were a lot of museum and churchs, but I didn't really get to spend any time in them, because I only had three hours (after a two hour walking tour), and in a city where you don't know where you are, it's hard to get around quickly...


So this bridge was pretty cool. It sets over the River Cam, which is what the city is named after.



This is the inside of the King's College Chapel. It took 100 years to complete due to the War of the Roses.
The whole church was lined with this beautiful stained class.  The upper windows contain the Old Testament and the lower, the New Testament. The middle pane contains a figure holding a banner around their necks, with part scripture on it, explaining the stories contained in the joint panels on the left and on the right.



We walked into a fudge shop - SO GOOD!! Melted on your tounge...



MMmm... food... Guess which one was mine??



Ya - I might have ventured past the door that said "Closed to Visitors".....
(Just kidding Mom... oh, excuse me: Mum)



Arn't these cute??!! I bought them at some random shop... They are about 1'' tall and I think made out of some sort of metal - not too sure. But I HAD to get them...
