Traveller had the privilege of going to Cambridge last week with 'best gal', her husband and flattie.
{Hubbie was working.}
Cambridge is a town which hosts one of Britain's finest universities.
It was the most perfect fall day and, because it's a fun tradition, we went punting.
Punting happens in a flat-bottomed boat, and you move by propelling yourself with a long pole.
Traveller had been punting before with family in Oxford, but that was a much more scary experience! T's brother pushed them from river bank to river bank and they almost capsized!
'Best gal's' husband was a much more proficient punter and had us gliding smoothly along the River Cam. We were so smooth in fact, that T was convinced that it must have been really easy.
So she volunteered her services.
Let's just say, as soon as T got some speed up, her knees would start wobbling and the words 'Man Overboard!' began echoing in her mind.
T quickly passed the pole on.
Cambridge is beautiful, though.
