Day 5: Punting at Cambridge

| On
Monday, December 30, 2013
Today was an easy day. We spent the day on campus at Cambridge University. And of course, punting at Cambridge is a must.





Gatehouse of King's College, Cambridge
Mathematical Bridge, Cambridge
An interesting myth about this bridge: Newton built a wooden bridge without any support of nails. Later his students wanted to learn about it. So they took the bridge apart and studied it. However they couldn't put the bridge back together, so they had to put nuts and bolts through the wood to hold the bridge up.

The truth is that this bridge was built by James Essex in 1749, which is 22 years after Newton died. 



Punting...

Punting... Pardon me I do not remember which college this is...







More punting :)

It is an amazing campus and I can go on days to talk about its awesomeness. Explore here for more about Cambridge http://www.cam.ac.uk/  :) Cheers!
