22nd of July, Day 6:

We woke up at 8:30 and all took turns to have  shower. We looked out of the window and the weather was warm when the sun was out, but pretty cold when it was cloudy. At 11:00, we all got into the MPV and drove into the city center. First stop was a visit to Sydney Sussex College. This was where my Uncle James & my grandfather studied. It was beautiful! I took pictures of amazing doors for my collection, I'm going to make a collage with them once I get back. We then played hide and seek in the Master's garden. My dad found me when I screamed. Then we went to Cambridge's biggest bookshop, Heffer's. By then we were hungry, so we had lunch at an Italian restaurant by the river Cam opposite Magdalene College. After lunch, we split up. Dad, Alissa and I went to order some bracelets for all my friends. While Mum, Aunty Kim and Ren went to Lions Yard. On our way to meet up, we saw this street entertainer. He had a GIANT hoop, he said that he had no idea what it was... but he climbed inside it as it rolled around the pavement. He was really good t keeping the crowd entertained! He spoke to us and said that we have come a long way, because I said that we are from Malaysia. We then met up at the end of Sydney Street. I bought a 3 dresses from Zara. Dad and I went back to pick up the bracelets but the market stall was shut down for the day. So we had  some delicious shortbread in the church yard of St. Bene't's church instead. By this time my feet had blisters so we returned to the car. My dad took me to his old digs where he stayed in 1979 then we picked up Agnes, Dominic and Thomas. (my 3 cousins)
Mum and Aunty Kim had bought steaks for supper, so we picked them up on Kings Parade and returned  home. It was crowded in our small apartment there were 10 of us in the living room. While Aunty Kim was cooking the steaks, the fire alarm went off! and we evacuated the apartment till the smoke cleared. By the time we got back in we were starving! we ate the steaks with mash potato, broccoli and gravy and then finished off with a Magnum ice cream. After we dropped off our cousin's I played a funny game with Ren in his room.
