This weekend was a long weekend in the UK. I'm not sure what the occasion is, since everything is just called a "bank holiday" but I enjoyed a day off work anyway! As an added bonus, these were the first sunny days in two weeks! Saturday I headed to Cambridge with a friend. We enjoyed punting on the Cam river, shopping and exploring the various colleges. You can check out some pictures here.
Sunday we went to the Notting Hill Carnival. It happens every year on this weekend and is apparently the world's second largest street party. I didn't want to go initially because I'd heard it was just a huge crowd. However, Sunday is family day so a little more tame and less crowded. It was definitely a fun experience and now I can say I've been there! Here are a few pictures from the day.

The public toilets had a 20 minute maximum...darn! I was hoping to spend 30 minutes in one!
