I slept in until 10am
after my long Saturday of sitting on a tour bus and touring Bath and
Stonehenge. After I cleaned up, I headed
to downtown Cambridge to walk the streets, do a little shopping, and tour/take
photos of all of the colleges/churches.
Around 12:30, as I was walking down some of the hidden/unknown alleys of
town, it started to pour down the rain so I headed to the closest pub that I
could find for lunch. I ended up staying
2 hours because the rain was horrendous; while I was there, I started a new
book (The Dream Team) and completed 50% of it by the time that I left. Will – I highly recommend reading this book;
it details the behind the scene battle to organize the team and their internal
struggles to come together to win the gold medal in 1992. Also, it is a very fast and easy read too! After I left the pub, I followed the canal
and watched all of the punting boats take people on a tour of Cambridge;
however, instead of getting a tour via the river, I continued to go down the
narrow, old streets of Cambridge and take in the sights the good old fashioned
way. I got a wonderful, money shot view
of King’s College chapel from the rear of the college.
By the time that I
returned to Homerton, my lodging for the past few weeks, it was close to
5:00. Once I returned, I started to
gather my belongings and come up with a plan to pack up all of my stuff. What I was really concerned about was getting
some of the breakable souvenirs that I bought; what I decided to do what to
pack all of them up in my luggage carry on bag so that I can take them back on
the plane with me. Also, due to the fact
that I have the space bags, I will easily be able to bring back my clothes with
room to spare, and hopefully, I won’t go over the weight limit on Sunday
morning at Heathrow Airport when I check in.
At 7:00pm, I met up with everyone at a restaurant and we had dinner to
talk about everyone’s weekend and watch the fastest man alive, Bolt, win
another gold medal.
