Day 14
We woke up to a third consecutive morning with rain. Wei Jun, Jonathan and I were up by six plus to take a biology test at seven. What a way to start the morning!!!
Today is our free day. After breakfast, we went down to Grantchester Orchard with Jon. Since we were not able to pack into Jon’s car, some of us took a taxi down to Grantchester. The taxi fare was three times what taxi drivers charge in Singapore!!! We walked into a big open field, taking care not to tread on “organic land mines” (cow dung). We spotted the cows and went close to take photographs of them. The cows didn’t care that we were coming close. We walked up a small hill near River Cam and admired the view of Cambridge from there, seeing only the peaks of King’s College Chapel and the University Library.
We took a break at an open air café with apple trees around us, sampling cheesecakes, chocolate fudge and toffee fudge cakes whist drinking English tea. The place was so peaceful, a perfect place to read. We plucked some apples from the trees. I have not tried eating them, but Jonathan found a worm in his. Yuck!
We travelled back to Cambridge town centre, stopping in front of the Fiztwilliam Museum. The museum showcases pottery and paintings, a cultural centre at that. Most of us were not very interested in such stuff and decided to go shopping. That’s typical of Singaporeans.
We walked around the town centre, buying more presents/souvenirs before settling down at a restaurant to have lunch. We took a bus back to Girton, the bus fare three times that in Singapore!!! All of us started working on the research paper review that Kyra had set us. After dinner, Mr Se, Ms Teo, Karen and Xiang Loong went to the Junior Common Room for a Lord of the Rings movie marathon. The rest of us were not interested in that and went to our rooms to complete the research paper review.
Right now, we are waiting for 2 am to come and that’s when the video conferencing starts. Time is ticking by so slowly….
