Day 3. Take a punt

We're not often approached by punt touts when we visit Cambridge. I like to think it's because we have a look about us that tells them we're not tourists. In reality it's probably more to do with the fact that we avoid eye contact and head determinedly towards our destination, usually Teri-Aki, as we did today.

If you've never travelled in a square-ended, flat bottomed boat that's propelled by a 5m long pole, then head to Scudamores at Magdelene Bridge where you can take either a 'do-it-yourself' or 'chauffeur driven' punt along the College Backs, on the River Cam. On a warm summer's day it's a peaceful and often entertaining way to while away the hours.
