Dazed, Confused and barely coherent

Day 2 in Cambridge eventually dawned. Craig was assured that he had paid his share of the taxi home, and that he was allowed to visit Cambridge again...

After Bernard arrived, dazed and confused from his 6 weeks in South America, we made our way to the beer festival. Regulars will remember that the festival is held in tents on Jesus Green. This is great when the weather is good, but has certain drawbacks when there are heavy rain showers...

Unfortunately, the beers were slightly disappointing - unlike previous years, there were a few that seemed slightly out of condition. Some of the stronger beers were nowhere to be seen either. You can tell when things are not going to plan - Bernard was even disappointed by the range of cheese on offer! Fortunately, however, the foreign bier bar was as good as ever, with the Schlenkerla Eiche Doppelbock making a welcome return. It was good to see Olaf back, recovering from his recent heart problems.

I am told that Craig, Bernard and Dr Stan visited some Cambridge pubs - I thought better...
