Day Fourteen: Cambridge College Chapels!

So I took my time getting out of the hostel today. Whee! Walked to the city center (one and a half miles) and decided to hop onto a hop on hop off tour bus. Nice idea! Very interesting information available. Like the reason why the station is a mile and a half from the city center. They built it about 1880s or so... and the colleges were worried that the students would be able to go to London and be 'distracted'. So they built it far away. They also had the university police able to get into any area of the station and arrest any student in possession of a ticket! Heh.....
I went to three college chapels, St. Johns College, Trinity College (the biggest and richest), and King's College. Beautiful chapels. Beautiful colleges.
Then I came back to the hostel, had a nap, then dinner, and now pictures and updates.
Next up: Lincoln! ^_^
