Day 15 - Cambridge

Hi from the Listening Live crew. My name is Victoria Peters and I'm a sophomore at Luther studying to be a music history major. The trip has been a blast so far and our trip up to Cambridge today was no different.

We had to leave out flat at Earl's Court today, which was a bit bittersweet because it had been our London home for the past 2 weeks, but a change in scenery was needed. It was a hectic start to our morning, packing up our belongings and cleaning out our rooms as well as getting all 19 of us through the tube to Liverpool Street station. Unfortunately, our train arrived and left the station without being announced, so we had to take a later one up to Cambridge. It was nice to leave the city and see there was more out there and the countryside was lovely. We made it to Cambridge and met bus driver Bob who managed to cram all of our luggage into a very small bus and dropped us at Kings College. We then got a very insightful tour around the city and learned about the history of the colleges and university as well as all of the buildings around the city center. We all met as a class and went to a sung eucharist service at the Kings College chapel. The architecure was gorgeous and the boy choir sounded amazing. We then had a great group meal at the Green Man pub before heading off on a two hour bus ride to Nottingham. We all got settled into our hotel and went to sleep excited to explore Nottingham tomorrow!
