Cambridge

The first "stop in your tracks" sight in Cambridge is a sign "Stephen Hawkings Building" on Gonville & Caius college, then the view of Kings college chapel across manicured lawns. Most of the colleges are shut to internal inspection as the exams are still on, but we can appreciate the exteriors. Magdalene College resplendent, with flowering lilac over the river side elevation. Tubs of enormous bright tulips decorate the porters lodge entrance at the oldest Peterhouse College (founded 1284!).
Punt renters are busy in the sunshine, some "chauffeured", others less skilfully propelled under the low bridges by enthusiastic amateurs.
