Last weekend I took a trip to Cambridge to see the colleges. Even though it was rainy, it was well worth the trip. There are 31 colleges that make up Cambridge University, which is the second oldest university in England after Oxford. In the picture you can see King's College, the building in the middle, which is the most prestigious out of the 31. This picture was taken from a punt ride; you are able to see most of the university from this canal that runs along the back side of the campus.
Here on the map you can see that Cambridge is quite a way south of Hull. It was about a three hour bus ride, but it was a pretty drive.
Right before we left we visited an art museum, and this was probably my favorite part of the trip. There were some beautiful paintings from almost every time period and nation. There were also Greek and Egyptian exhibits that contained sculptures and artifacts. Unfortunately the only place where pictures were permitted was the lobby.
