Dreaming spires

Cambridge was my destination today - my servant lived here for a bit but I haven't really ever looked around, so it was nice to get out and explore the city.

I suppose the thing that Cambridge is most famous for is its University, which is quite a good one I have been told.  The buildings are certainly very old and grand looking.  I can't imagine what it must be like to be a student at a University like this - I wonder if they have many bears studying there?  I didn't see any, but maybe they were in the library.

Here is me outside Kings College, which was founded in 1441 by King Henry VI!  That is really quite old isn't it?!

I saw lots of other bits of Cambridge today as well including the River Cam where there are funny flat bottomed boats called punts.  I also saw some of the big greens, like Parkers Piece and Coe Fen.  I was quite surprised to see that some of these bits of land have cows on them!  That must be unusual for so close to a city centre.

After a long day exploring Cambridge I was quite glad to get home to rest my weary paws.  I am so excited though because tomorrow I am going to the beach - I will blog all about it when I get back!
