Cambridge, United Kingdom

Cambridge,
everyone will be thinking of University of Cambridge,
where the geniuses are born in there.

Yes,
that's the place I visited two weeks ago.

Cambridge,
has its own stories behind it.
We were told by the punter,
that there are more than 30 colleges in the town,
and they are all under a domain name, called University of Cambridge.
So,
whoever studies in either one of the colleges,
they are known as students/ graduates there.

As far as we know,
University of Cambridge and University of Oxford are both highly rated unis.
And yes,
both places 'produce' intelligent people such as Newton, and even our first ever Prime Minister was 'born' there, in Uni of Cambridge.

Here,
they have punting.
You can either punt yourselves, which I believe it is a quite challenging task, or you hire a punter.
We almost missed the chance of getting ourselves a ticket to punting. *stories behind

After punting,
all we did was just walking, walking, and kept walking.
and pictures below basically show whatever we had seen / passed by in Cambridge.

starting point of our walking journey

Spot the individual punter, he got to stand up there and punt.
*may fall into the water if you are imbalance, 
that explains my word 'challenging'

 spot the round thing hanging on wall, with a creature on top?

this is actually a clock,
the creature actually moves every second *sorry, no video
and this little thing here has a name called, 'Time Eater'
It is created/ built by a student in Cambridge,
and his purpose is to remind all students in Cambridge to treasure every sec of your time.

one of the museums we visited






Cambridge,
has nothing more but COLLEGES.

It may not be as pretty as Whitby,
but it has its own special unique buildings that are worth to be visited.
