Ely Cathedral and The Fitzwilliam Museum- 4th August

I absolutely love stained glass windows of pretty much any time period and my uncle suggested to John that we take a trip to Ely Cathedral. I was in "hog heaven" :)

The museum of stained glass is located upstairs in the cathedral and no pictures are allowed though you can take some within the cathedral itself. Kris and I sat and watched a video about the process of making stained glass. The finished piece was sitting on the table. Very interesting and we watched it twice the way through :) I liked the way the exhibit was set up i.e. as a time line that you walk up in a semi tunnel like environment then walk back down on the outside.

After we finished at the cathedral we made a trip into Cambridge to visit the Fitzwilliam Musem. No photographs unfortunately because they are not allowed. The building is quite spectacular inside and is some areas quite overshadows the exhibits. There is currently an exhibition going on about Charles Darwin. Very interesting and worth the visit. We got to experience rush hour traffic on our way out and marvelled at the ability of the emergency vehicle drivers being able to wend their way through on such narrow streets.
