Yesterday (Saturday) I went and had a look at "the Backs". I assume the name comes from the fact that it is the area behind the old colleges. It's the part of the river with lots of punts and pretty bridges. The tourists are concentrated there. I think the Bridge of Sighs is somewhere there, but I haven't found it yet. I also haven't worked out which is the Mathematical Bridge. I''ve got some research to do.
It's a very pretty area. I had said that I haven't seen anyone in college robes, but yesterday they were everywhere. It must've been graduation day.
I went to the Archaeology Museum. Not bad. It's pretty small, but they do have some really old items.
While roaming the streets after that, I saw three New Zealanders. Let's see:
- Blue jeans and All Blacks jerseys? Check
- Each one clutching a can of beer? Check
Come on guys. Some of us are trying to undo the stereotypes. You are walking anachronisms.
