Cambridge

After York, we proceeded on to RAF Alconbury. It is a US base and about the size of Training Center Petaluma. It was in the beautiful rolling hills of central England. There are quite a few Royal Air Force bases that were set up here during World War II.

On the way we went through Sherwood Forest.

Cambridge was about a half hour from the base. It is a historic town like York in some ways. Here are some shots of the campus of King's College. 

There is a river  that is next to Trinity College which had a lot of punt boats floating.  The "driver" pushes a long pole onto the bottom of the riverbed to move forward.  One of the punters had about 12 people in it and he wasn't a very big guy.  You could hire them and try to do it yourself as well as hire a driver.  It was so beautiful!
This is King's College Chapel.  We just took pictures from the outside.  Pretty much every place charged about 10 pounds to visit.  It had gorgeous architecture.
