Nov 9th. Cambridge

Dima rented a car from Kendall the knaves and we all went to Cambridge. Romik and Polinka went with him, while we got the girls in the back of our car.

Cambridge is beautiful. Definitely worth a second visit. Lovely gallery shops, quaint bazaars, interesting architecture. It seemed smaller and cozier than Oxford. We went to see the king's college chapel - one of the prettiest we saw. Fascinating organ set right in the middle of the church. Awesome glass windows - and we saw a lot of them. What really struck us what the quantity of pagan looking heraldic symbols around the church. Of course the short autumn day got us here as well and cut our explorations short. It was also a pretty cold and dreary day. We did get lucky - the rain had stopped as soon as we arrived.

Back home concierges had a whole night car moving operation going on helping to move guest cars into empty spots. They keep track of empty spots and vacationing owners and then can help with a good parking spot when need be.

We found a new use for our TV given that BT engineer did not show up for the third time and our radiators do not work - it comes quite handy as a drying rack.
