Postcard Cambridge

Dear Esmee,

I went to Cambridge last Christmas with a friend and we had such a great time that we might go again next year. We both wanted to improve our English so we thought Cambridge is probably the place to be to work on our language skills. After all, Cambridge is the university town of England.

We loved spending our evenings in The Eagle which is one of the larger pubs in Cambridge. In this pub they serve Green King beers, but I have no idea what that is, because I don’t like beer. As you know I prefer to drink wine.

One day we decided to take the train to Yorkshire to a friend of mine. We were waiting for the bus, but after one hour we were still waiting. Perhaps this had something to do with Christmas? We decided to walk to the train station, but it started to rain so we sheltered in a beautiful church. The priest gave us an umbrella which was very generous of him. So we continued our journey and when we arrived at the station, there were no trains either. No public transportation during the Christmas holidays, that makes sense! We went to the police station to call our friend that we couldn’t come so he joined us in The Eagle.

We had such a wonderful time, but I would like to give you one piece of advice: never go to England during the Christmas holiday!

Love,
Julia
