Here we go with the Day Five. We were a bit tired after the two trips on weekend so we decided to take it easy. We slept a little bit longer than usual and after breakfast we drove to Ely for sightseeing. It is a beautiful town and has a breath-taking cathedral. It's all here, and what's more we (at least I) saw a black swan for the first time. See for yourself:

Afterwards we grabbed something to eat at Tesco and then we went to watch some swans in the reserve. There were supposed to be thousands of them but according to our luck only six of them appeared and only for the last ten minutes. But we saw hundreds of all kinds of ducks and we made some photos of it (one of them is during the feeding- look at them go!) please enjoy them (also below you can see the All-Six-Swans):

After getting in touch with nature we felt a little bit hungry. And because we were not allowed to eat the swans (and there was to little of them) we drove back home for supper. Once again we were amazed by Alison's fabulous cooking. And that wasn't the end. After dinner we indulged some English tea, coffee and biscuits. Also there was cake, cookies and lots of other good stuff. Well, just look at our happy faces:

When we got REALLY stuffed we decided to feel more English (no, English tea was not enough). We got into Alan's Land Rover and drove to some muddy field. There waited for us another one. And so everybody from our crew had a go in one (or both) of the Land Rovers. It was pretty weird to sit on the right side of the car and to drive it (I'm pretty used to sitting on the left side- the way that non-English people drive). For some of us this was the first time they ever drove a car. Nice feeling they say.

We finished this day in a pub sitting and talking about all the impressions we got so far.
