Walking on the sunny side of life...

...You won't get good photos. XP

Noticed that today when we had our walking tour of the Old Centre of Cambridge.

Anyway, here's a photo of the views on my bus-stop:
Looks very nice and it was again very warm - and it was only half past eight at the time. XP

We had our first lesson today, but it wasn't anything special. More fun than anything. We just chatted and then did some stupid-easy exercises, but I did have trouble keeping up with the dictation thing.

Our school's front yard
Then we broke for lunch. Our lunch-guy is funny. I think he's Italian and he's very relaxed and talks to everyone. So there's a queue all the time, but I don't mind - I'd rather get my meal with a smile a bit slowly than with great hurry and a frown.

After lunch we didn't have any lessons, but the tour. I took way too many pictures again, I'll put only part of them here.

I just adore these alleys.
Walking towards the King's College Chapel

Clare College front gate - near beside the Chapel

From the Chapel itself. From the left upper corner it's the gate, 
  Judgement Day window, a view of the ceiling and the main window

King's College courtyard. Picture from the inside. There's a fence in front of me, so you really can't go in there.
Hidden gardens are IN in Cambridge, it seems.

More lovely alleys.

Trinity College courtyard. Again from behind a fence.
That apple tree is the descendant of the apple that fell on Isaac Newton's head. XD They've tested the DNA.

The Time Eater. Believe it or not, this is a clock!

More hidden gardens.
The tour ended at the Eagle - reputedly the most famous pub of the town. We'll be going there for dinner tomorrow. It was really nice looking.
The Eagle's front.
After that we broke into smaller groups... but most of us needed some refreshment, so we went to the nearby Starbucks and then home.
