Cambridge Friday the 1st October

On our way north to Kettering we decided to stop and have a look around the renowned city of Cambridge. The weather was unfortunatley quite crap so that bought the experience down a little but the town was still obviously quite lovely. The massive and historical university, the quaint cobble stone streets lined with lovely shops and the pretty river filled with Punter boats was great to see and I would love to go again on a clear day.

At The Punter pub in Cambridge where we had the delicious £5 lunch.



It was a tad cold and dark in our little nook so we lit the candles, Seema thought this would make a nice photo. It was quite cosy, I was very happy with my first English pub experience.



The main University Building....in the drizzle.

We briefly escaped the wind and rain inside this amazing old church.

Lee showing us how small people a few hundred years ago must have been!

The fudge maker, not used to getting his photo taken I think. Mmm mmm this fudge was smooth, creamy and scrumptious we had to get some.

I love the colour of the grass in England it is just so intensely green, I also love this photo.

One of the things that is hard to get used to is how close the building are to the street. Then the roads are so narrow that you can't walk near the edge of the path or a passing car might side swipe you. Things were pretty calm in Cambridge compared to London though.

The sign says it all

The Punter boats, not too popular on days like this but it would be lovely on a fine day to go for a ride down the River Cam.
