Ely

Ely Cathedral from 3 miles away

Only a short 4 mile journey into Ely today.  We left at 10:20 andf had an easy cruise joining the Cam at Popes Corner and then down the deep and wide Great Ouse at about 3.5mph towards the city of Ely.  The cathedral was visible for most of the journey dominating the skyline for miles around.

We arrived at 11:30 and were surprised to see the most desirable moorings empty.  After mooring we walked into the city for the next 4 days shopping and a very good lunch at the Blue Bar, a local bar/bistro.  On our return to the boat all moorings had been taken so we were lucky to get here early.
