Cambridge

I arrived in Cambridge early in the afternoon. My first stop was King's College Chapel, famous for it's fan-vaulted ceilings. Some of the colleges were closed for exams, but I was able to wander through Peterhouse and Emmanuel Colleges- all beautifully manicured quads and majestic buildings. Only the students looked out of place, all dressed in jeans and t-shirts. The lawns reminded me of Astrerix in Britain- "a few more hundred years of tender loving care and it should make a decent piece of turf" (or words to that effect). The Round Church of the knights Templar was interesting.
