The Market


The Cambridge market had a wide variety of things to buy. Though I didn't get anything from there, I came close several times. From fresh food to Banksy sweaters, it was hard not and I still don't know how I managed to get out of there without both.

Punting



While punting on the Cam there are a number of awesome universities to look at from the river. I found a few other things that are easy on the eyes and saw one thing that was just bizarre. Extreme Ironing. These extreme women were making everyday moments extreme to show that for some people it is pretty extreme to daily things.

Bikes of Cambridge




I love bikes and they were everywhere in Cambridge.

More stuff from the river.

Graffiti Guy



Enjoyed watching this guy do graffiti at the skate park on the south bank of the River Thames.

Changing of the Guard and the Superhero Fun Run


At the super hero fun run most of the runners were dressed as either Superman or Batman (Batman is better). There were a number of people dressed otherwise out of the almost 1,700 attendants. A clown even crashed the run, apparently not realizing that he had, he slowly shuffled across the finishing line with his box of gags.

The Changing of the Guard was slightly less exciting. Waiting an hour and a half for something to start under the threat of rain was not pleasant. A group of Spaniards behind us did not seem pleased that we beat them to the fence. When something finally occurred, we got all the photos that we could and then quickly got out of there before we ended up squished against the fence.

London EYE

I was going to going to ride the London Eye until I realized that there was a line to get tickets and then another line to get on the actual eye itself. Also I'm frugal and it costs 17 pounds.
