The Backs

For part two of your tour of Cambridge, we went on a walk along the Backs. The Backs are basically the part of town that has a lot of greenery and looks on the back of the colleges, so it's aptly named.


Keri on the bridge near Trinity Hall, with the River Cam in the background.

Trinity Hall, and a little bit of Kings College.

This was part of St. John's College, and we just thought it was a really pretty tree-lined walkway.

A gorgeous view of Kings College Chapel, and yes, those are cows in the foreground! I believe these cows belong to the college, but I could very well be making that up.

The punts at sunset - which means it was about 10:00 or 10:30 at night. The sun also comes up around 4:30 in the morning because we are so far north - London is apparently even with Nova Scotia. It's very nice in the summer to have so much light (between rain showers anyway) but in the winter, it's the opposite.
