A long,chilled weekend...

...one where we were supposed to move into our new house and start our life there, but didn't- we will next week. Instead, some of the highlights were:

- Watching a carribean steel band competition in Hyde Park- as a pre-event to the Notting Hill Carnival
- Drinking coconut juice, eating sugar cane and jerk chicken with plantane- carribean food- all for the first time


- Watching the olympics handover to London- very cool
- Going to a Shakespeare play in the Globe theatre

- And then today- going to Cambridge- the best university in the UK and one of the oldest. Below: Trinity Colledge.

The city is small and full of beautiful old buildings that remind me of middle ages. This is where students live and study. The first record of the city is around 756 and of the university 1209.

The detail on the gothic buildings is fantastic, as you can see below- loved noticing all the gargoils and all the lace.
The most exciting activity in Cambridge is ''punting'' on the Cam. That means boating. :)

This is done using a long pole to push yourself forward along the canal along side all the ducks and underneath beautiful old bridges.

Over all, a fantastic lazy day with friends- very chilled, in the sun and grass.
