Since I last wrote:
Amsterdam - we saw as much as we could in the day we were there, but didn't find it nearly as interesting as other cities. Granted I'd been there before, but even fresh-eyed Owen didn't like it as much. The buildings and cannals are really cool, but the atmosphere is very different. Plus I hated driving in the city, the bikes and trams and people make it a nightmare.
Delft - I love that town. It was market day, which made it crazy busy, but its a quite pretty place with some cool buildings. A nice change from A-Dam.
Brugges - LOVED. Totally loved. Would reccomend for anyone to go there. Really cool buildings, really nice people, awesome chocolate, lace, cannals, etc. Can't say enough, super cool place to go.
We then drove back down to Paris for a night, narrowly missing the protest which were 3million strong (thanks to some text's from mom!). Low key night of repacking etc.
Windsor/Maidenhead - visited my Aunt and Uncle who live near Windsor in England. Explore the castle and wandered the town, then had a nice family visit. Good way to end the trip.
Owen went home today (I think he's landing in about 2 hours). He's been an excellent travelling companion and I miss his company already. Hopefully he re-adjusts to 'normal' life quickly!
I made my journey up to Cambridge - via car, tube, bus, and taxi. I'm settled in at Selwyn College and all my classes start up tomorrow. Hopefully I can focus on the positive while I'm here and not get too stressed. The view from my window is cool.Bye for now!
