Cambridge

On Saturday morning we got the train to Cambridge, we were staying at a nice B&B just out of the city centre. On the first day we walked around the historic centre and visited the markets. We also had a look at some of the colleges including the famous Kings College. We also had a few beers and cocktails overlooking the canals full of people on punts. After a days drinking and relaxing we went to the botanical gardens, it was one of the best we have seen. On the Sunday we did some more relaxing by the water watching the college kids diving into the filthy water from bridges and swing ropes.

Boat Race - Cambridge Vs Oxford

The Boat Race is a rowing race between the Oxford University Boat Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club. It is rowed annually each Spring on the Thames in London and is a great excuse to have a few beers.

We got to the Old Ship pub near Hammersmith early and were prepared with an esky and a few cartons of beer. It got pretty crazy later on in the afternoon but we did manage to get a glimpse of the actual race.

I found out the next day that Cambridge won.
