Cambridge

I wanted to get to Cambridge with Greg when we were in London in February, but since we ran out of time and energy, I decided to come back to the UK and take the walk through Grantchester Meadows (another location 'as seen on TV') that I wasn't able to do last time. That was the highlight in Cambridge, but the university buildings and general vibe of the town were cool too. 

Possibly the tree where an apple fell on Isaac Newton's head...
probably never happened but it is an apple tree and he did reside in the building behind it. 

Kind of like going to school at Hogwarts.

Punting on the River Cam


My walk from Grantchester Village to Cambridge started here and the Orchard Tea Garden:
...and ended on the outskirts of town.
Near my little village of Fulbourn:
And then Ryan Air for the first time ever (no brawling broke out) to Lisbon!
