A little bit slow to start this morning.  Late for breakfast, but still served.

Walked into the centre of Cambridge, walked around a bit then went to the tourist place and booked a guided walking tour (about 2 hours).  Walked to the Fitzwilliam Museum and wandered through the galleries.  Lots of old paintings sculptures and some antiquities.  Also saw a decimal clock from the 1700s!  Started the walk at 1300, stopped at the oldest building in Cambridge.  The Cavendish Laboratory which was the first experimental physics laboratory in England.  Then on to the Pembroke College.  A college basically consists of:  a chapel, library, great hall (eating hall), dormitory and teaching rooms.  Then a look at St Catherine’s and Kings Colleges.

We saw a modern clock that as it’s chime has the sound of a chain rattling into a coffin, to remind people of their mortality!!

We then walked around town some more…

There are a great number of bikes in town (evidently there are a lot more when the 25,000 odd students are in town and studying).  There a lot of variations of bikes to carry parcels and kids.  The kids seem to start riding bikes at a very young age and people of all ages from the young to quite old are seen riding them.

Finally headed toward home, we saw some cattle grazing on the Midsummer Common, as they do for some time every year so it keeps its status as a common, stopped to have dinner in a pub.  Home about 1900.

During the day we walked just under 10Km.
