Saturday in Cambridge - February 20

This morning at breakfast was told there were spare rooms available so on the way back to my room I called in at reception and now I am in bigger room on the ground floor. And it has a real bathroom complete with a shower and bath and plenty of room to move round.
My old room taken from laying on the bed.

The rest of the morning I walked down into Cambridge town and wandered round a few of the colleges. The whole town from seems very crowded with its old building and narrow streets but if you look at a map or the bronze sculpture, I specially photographed for you, there is a lot of open green space. The colleges are buildings arranged to create large walled enclosures surrounding open grassy areas.

The entrance large square top centre on the bronze above.

This is the next college to the right on the bronze. At an angle and gap in the wall.
After a lot of walking I headed back to the hotel but stopped at a pub for a pint and a meal. A pint of Nelson Ale and a British beef and ale pie with chunks of prime beef in a rich Ruddles Ale gravy topped with short crust pastry and served with mashed potato, peas, and gravy.
