Day Three - Rainy day in Cambridge

It rained last night, a lot! The news this morning warned of possible flooding due to torrential rain across Northern England. Fortunately it didn't actually flood here today, but it might tomorrow!
I've noticed that it stays light here until quite late:



I took these two photos from my window at 7:30 last night - yes: 7:30pm!

And this one is from 9:00 last night:


Fortunately I'm still quite jet-lagged so sleeping isn't too difficult even though it's so light.

Today I went into the city centre again, mostly I shopped; I did enough sight-seeing yesterday to last me a while!
For lunch I had a traditional Cornish pasty:



Inside were a few chunks of beef, lots of potatoe, and some onion and turnip, all deliciously baked in a thick pastry crust, mmmm :D
So if you're ever in Cambridge, I suggest you visit this place:


This shop faces into Market Square, which has a general market (food stalls, fruit and veg stalls, clothing, souvenirs, paintings, jewellery etc) from Monday to Saturday, then on Sunday they have stalls with more arts and crafts stuff.



Great St Mary's church is in the background here


I also went to Cath Kidston :D (the white building), Poll appreciates Cath Kidston ;)

Tomorrow I will be exploring inner London with my friend Ben who is a fellow former-Northcliffean and now lives in Paris :)
