Ashore in Cambridge

Hi everyone,

During our first 'Schengen Shuffle' this year we spent a week in Cambridge.  Such a lovely city.  Very laid back.  So many pubs.

A River Somewhere (in Cambridge)

Our AirBnB was a 15 minute walk from the city centre.  The walk along the river beside a park into town was a delight.

Wonderful Parks

Used-to-be Locks

The city centre is a popular tourist site.  We had a week to explore and could head into town before most of the tourists got out of bed.  If you go there find the clock shown below.  Super-cool, but you have to study it for a while to figure it out.

We've visited Cambridge several times over the years.  We always visit The Eagle for a good feed and to see the roof 'decorated' by RAF and USAAF bomber crews during the Second World War.  Lest We Forget.

We usually visit Kings College.  This time it was covered in scaffolding so we didn't.  Just strolling around the city is great fun.  Most evenings we walked to a different pub, sometimes well out of the city centre.

It was great to revisit Cambridge.  We hope we'll do so again!

Flying Away

From Cambridge we moved to Norfolk for a few days with family, then flew back into Europe.
