ARI-PBBM Integrated Training and Conference 2014 - Day Five

Day Five

 In the morning, we visited more interesting sites of London City - London Bridge, Tower of London, Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and Wembley Stadium.  Later in the afternoon, we traveled to Cambridge, a city which is about one hour away from London. The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia, on the River Cam, about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. Cambridge City has a population of about 150,000 (including 30,000 students). Cambridge is most widely known as the home of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 and consistently ranked one of the top five universities in the
world. The university includes the renowned Cavendish LaboratoryKing's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. Tomorrow, we will have a whole day event at Cambridge University.  Interestingly, there is no "boundry line" between the university (the gowner) and the town (towner).  In fact, there is no specific location of what constitutes the "university campus".  The university and the city represent a unique blend of history, knowledge and development.
