One night in Cambridge

Kings College before and after

Having spent a bit of time in Oxford, I've always wanted to see Cambridge and compare the two towns for myself. So we headed up there on Saturday, just for a night to make something of our Easter weekend. Usually we try get away for Easter, but this year we haven't had the time to sort out any sort of visa because of my own UK visa application.

It may have been the inclement weather (blizzardy) but if anything I was slightly disappointed. The college's are really impressive though, especially King's College which is an incredible architectural feat. What I found most strange was the inaccessibility of the river (Cam). I was hoping to walk along the river Cam and admire the Colleges and Punters from there but sadly that wasn't possible. You could walk along the river for a very short stretch but after about 50 metres it takes you away from the town and then, well you may as well be in any other field around the country.
