I was really excited about finally getting to see Cambridge. Amit studied there last year, and Greg this year, so for two years I’ve been hearing all about this place but haven’t really been able to picture it.

Greg and I arrived in the afternoon and went for a quick walk around campus/town before having dinner at a local pub.

King’s college (?)

The entrance to Trinity Hall, Greg’s college:

The dorms:

This is Trinity College, Amit’s college. At this point, if the whole “college” system confuses you, it’s just like the houses at Hogwarts.

The reason Amit was back in Cambridge was for his graduation ceremony. He finished his degree last summer, after our trip in Sweden, so he didn’t get a chance to participate in last summer’s ceremony.
It’s a very elaborate ceremony, so he definitely thought it was worth coming back for!

We took a punting trip on the river Cam with Amit’s family who was there for the graduation.

On our last day, we played a game of Croquet on the laws on Trinity Hall. I ended up winning, but that was more because everyone who got through the last gate ahead of me spent all their effort blocking Amit and Greg from winning…

Amit and I headed to bed at about 1am so that we could get up by 4 to catch our National Express bus to Stanstead for our flight to Barcelona the next day.
