#cambridgememories

I present thee blog post with a million instagram photos and extremely lengthy captions capturing my recent overnight trip to Cambridge with the entirety of the castle student population. It rained for the majority of the weekend but I loved it. Cobbled streets, bicycles ruling the road, cute shops and cafés. Hello Utrecht of the British Isles.

hello cambridge. the weekend started with a walking tour of the city and vists to some of the university colleges.

we also saw some people punting and the sun even appeared for a brief moment. #vexciting

well this is a cool street name.

after lunch, steph, kaitlin and i wandered and they very kindly posed with this most excellent street sign.

what what? it’s the st c’s of cambridge!

as per ex-flatmate fi’s recommendation, i made sure to visit this wee café gem. it was packed and we had to sit beside each other in a line awkwardly watching and listening to the conversations of the elderly party opposite.

“couples taking up four people tables are so inconsiderate”

i am so british. i love it.

dinner in the eagle with nick, matt & rachel. i had hunter’s chicken.hunter you did well.

after hunter and his chicken, we shared a dessert platter. £2 each? oh yes.

post dinner, we went on a mission to find burns celebrations. i went into the mill and asked for irn bru. they denied me my dream so i settled for crabbies, #stillscottish nick had it too but was less impressed.

sunday morning! we stayed at a travelodge at cambridge leisure park which as you can see by julia and rosie’s enthusiasm, was pretty much the most exciting place ever.

later in the morning i headed to this church to say a wee hello to the minister who is also my mum’s friend from university. i also met another couple of people from inverness so basked in their invernesian accents.

after church i had some time to wander so i took some photos of bicycles.

i really like bicycles. i felt like i was in utrecht. it was splendid.

i even saw some people riding bicycles. they are #livingthedream

i also dropped by the fitzwilliam museum. well when i say dropped by, i mean i went to the gift shop. there’s only so much art i can see in the month of january. but the building was super cool. #worthit

i met up with nick, rachel and a couple of the students for sunday roast. we returned to the eagle because quite frankly, it’s awesome. lunch was good. thumbs up all round. cheers cambridge.
