既然來到了劍橋,怎麼能夠不來puting一下呢?雖然大家都知道來劍橋要punting一下,但大家對punting了解多少呢?好啦!我承認我也是去Wiki一下才了解的!XD 其實不是每個河道都適合punting。因為他是用桿子再推動的,而不是用槳。因為劍橋的這條河剛好夠淺。而且沿途可以欣賞到許多古老建築。因此punting成了劍橋的一大特色!

When you come to Cambridge, you cannot miss out the opportunity to do a bit of punting. Although it is a universally known truth, that you must punt in Cambridge, just how much do you actually know about punting? Apparently, you can't punt in any random river. The river has to be shallow enough for the pole to reach the bottom, because that's what's pushing the boat, instead of oars. Also, the historic building along the river also make punting quite a passtime while in Cambridge.

Bridge of Sighs 嘆息橋

其實劍橋與牛津有很多共同點。據說,嘆息橋也是兩者之間眾多共同點之一呢!

There are many similarities between Oxford and Cambridge, and Bridges of Sighs is one of these many similarities.

有趣的建築Interesting building.

其實導遊(那個很酷的女生)都有一一向我們解釋這些建築物的歷史,不過隨著年齡的增長,記憶也漸漸衰退~我真的都不記得這些建築誤到底有什麼來歷跟目前作為什麼用途了!囧!!
Our guide (also the punter) actually did an amazing job explaining to us the history of these buidlings and what they are used for today. However, my memory is not very good to begin with, and with age, I find it failing me even more frequently... So I cannot recall what these buildings are at all now! How unfortunate! 

19
不過即使不知道來龍去脈,從圖片中還是可以看到每一棟建築物都有自己的特色!
Despite being unaware of the in and outs of these buildings, it can still be seen from the pictures that each building has its own unique feature! 

20
經過的幾座橋也都各有特色。
Even each of the bridges have their own unique features. 

22
河流上遊蕩的生物們似乎也很悠哉地享受著河流兩旁的美景。
These creatures wandering along the river seemed to be enjoying the sight on either side of the river as well. 

23
考考大家!誰記得這座橋叫啥?
Quiz time! What is the name of this bridge?

24
那這座呢?
And this one?

尤其如果遇到好天氣,真的建議要體驗一下!

Highly recommended a go at this! Especially if the weather is nice!
