Cambridge 1st Day at Jesus College

We arrived in Cambridge after 4 hours driving from Manchester. Nothing very exciting on the road to go there, just a lot of fields and motorways. Cambridge is a fantastic place if you like architectures, history and green places. There is no grass uncut, Jesus College is like a piece of art. Everytime you walk somewhere, the design of the gardens and buildings give you a new photoframe to look at. Here are some pictures taken on the first day:


This horse is the only one to be allowed to be on the grass because NO ONE is allowed to walk on the grass! There are signs everywhere to remind you of that...or probably to remind the students when they come back drunk from clubbing!

I do not know another College in the UK where you can come across faisans walking in the College, there were also ducks...Which remind me we had excellent duck a l'orange, perhaps this is where they came from!





I must say, this is probably art, but I don't know if you can imagine what this looks like at night if you had a few drink (or not!) => VERY SCARY


Here is a Picture of us, on the left Paul, a lab technician. Then, Kathryn Whitehead, my supervisor, Lindsay, a PhD student and me.

This is the restaurant we went to have dinner on the first night.

It had a cheminey with logs and nice bottles of wine with painting frames on the front as if the bottles themselves were pieces of art.

They had excellent brownie dessert with a milky hazlenut foam with mint ice cream (giving a light touch to the heavy chocolate). Very nice!
