It was my sisters bday and as much as it was freezing and late we still went out for a day trip to Cambridge. It's not far from London around an hour in the car depending on traffic.
It's not what I expected. I think I was expecting a big school a big church and a fat river. It was like going to watford with the shops and a market but with lots of churches or now colleges. Since each church/college has a different specialisation. What did amuse me was the anthropology building looked old and like the rest of the other buildings but its carvings were of lizards and a big elephant, as opposed to gargoyles or busts.
You can really feel a college vibe as you see book shops and clothes for clubs and graduation. My viestyles find was the satchel. Have you seen the satchel/google advert? With the leather company? I think I found it! I did find the satchels all over the place.
The thing I didn't expect though was the 1 way streets and lots of bicycles. I think everyone here rides a bike. The crime rate for steeling bikes must be rare as the owners don't seem to mind them parked outside. If we went earlier we should have taken a tour. So far I might have liked Canterbury more, but that's my opinion.
