In the evening we went for a punt down the Cam. Punting is where you stand in a boat and use a big stick that reaches to the bottom of the river to push the boat along instead of rowing. It is supposed to be very romantic, which seems odd given that you’re packed into the tiny boats like cattle.
We wanted to try steering ourselves, but we wound up in a collision even with a professional punter, so we decided that was a bad idea.
