Jesus College

One of the rarest, if not THE rarest, moment on our trip was the morning I had free to wander into Cambridge on my own and to explore Jesus College, founded in 1496. Things must have been slow, because as soon as I passed through this impressive entrance, a security guard, hearing that I was there to scope out the place before the choir's evening performance, very generously offered to to give me my own private tour!

Room with a View

After our short stop in Lincoln, the choir pressed on to Cambridge where we stayed at the slightly less glamorous, but nonetheless strategically located, Premier Inn. Didn't make much difference, anyway, as we really only had time to sleep and eat in the hotel. 

I agree, though, along with probably a whole lot of tour organizers, that glamor must sometimes give way to convenience. And the Premier Inn on Newmarket Road could hardly have been more convenient, being within an easy and pleasant one mile walk to Jesus College where we would be singing next. 

View looked much the same whether seen vertically or horizontally. :-)
