On our second day, we took a day trip to Cambridge. Cambridge is interesting, basically it is an impossibly pretentious college town. They are allowed to be pretentious, of course, they have excellent schools, a long tradition, rich history, and fantastic architecture. Basically, Harry Potter went to school here.

One cool feature of the town is the river/canal that runs through the different colleges. We took a tour on a “punt”, a small boat rowed Venetian-style. It was quite the touristy thing to do, but well worth it.
