I fell in love with Cambridge

That all sums it up. I couldn't say it any better. I love everything about Cambridge. How it vibrates, comes alive, looks, feels, works, tastes, history everything. I even went as far as asking Reg if we could move there (to which of course he said no). For as much as I love London, Cambridge is just everything I dream and wish for. A breathing history.




So for our May bank holiday we went for a spontaneous day out and without any plan we decided to go to Cambridge. Not knowing what to expect (except maybe to see a big building called "Cambridge University" or something..), the place sure did surprise us. Me to be precise. It was more than what I would have expected. And it blew me away. 



 The Mathematical Bridge, apparently the beams are arranged to  support each other to keep it up. Beams not bolts.



 Wisteria is everywhere.












Ground norms.



 The Market Square



Shows what rules in the place.



During autumn these ivy leaves turns red, and they say the view is beyond compare. I can only imagine.



 The River Cam.



 Corpus Clock






 Probably my favourite building. 



Punting and the Bridge of Sigh





Somewhere beyond this building is the corridor where Newton first studied the speed of sound.




 I.would.love.to.do.this.




Since the trip was just for a day there were plenty more that I wanted to do. So, when I come back I'll visit Newton's Apple tree, Sir David Attenborough famous favourite garden, the inside of Kings College chapel, the library where the original Winnie the Pooh manuscripts are kept, where Sam Mendes studied, and so on and forth. The list goes on.. and so is my love for Cambridge.
