Punting for the First Time

We went punting the first day we were here in Cambridge. Mum says it's Daddy's favorite thing to do, so of course we had to go.

I was pretty hungry as soon as we got on the punt, so Mum gave me a bottle--that always makes life better! While I was eating, I got to look around at all the buildings and watch the ducks swim by. We even got to see a swan!

Daddy stood up on the end of the punt and used a long pole to push off the bottom of the river. That's how we moved so quickly! There were a lot of other people on the river that were so fun to watch. People come from all over the world to see Daddy's school and to go punting. I thought it was a lot of fun--I can see why!

We went along the river Cam in an area that's called 'The Backs'. They call it that because it's the backsides of the colleges.

The most famous building in Cambridge can be seen from the River Cam: Kings' College Chapel. All I wanted to do was watch the people, but Mum insisted on telling me about the different colleges. I guess that's ok, because then when people come to visit I can tell them all about it. Because of course we will take them punting!

Daddy bought an year long pass at Scrudemores, so we can go punting every day if we want to! I'm excited to go punting when it's snowing outside!
