Hayley and I went to check out Cambridge on the weekend. We caught a direct train from London Kings Cross and it only took 45 minutes to get there. Cambridge is a beautiful town especially in Autumn as there are big parks and trees and the university grounds looked amazing with the falling leaves. We were told the best way to see Cambridge was to go 'punting'. I had no idea what this meant, but we headed to the river to check it out.
Turns out punting is like Gondola riding, a man stands on the end of the boat with a long pole and pushes you along the river. We hopped on a boat with about 6 other people and punted down the river- it was really beautiful going past the colleges and hearing the history of the universities from our guide. An interesting fact was that students dorm rooms are allocated according to their grades, so the smarter the student, the better their room!
After our punting session we headed to The Eagle...which is the pub where DNA was discovered. We had lunch there then went for a little browse through the shops and I came across the bag I've had my eye on for a while from the Cambridge Satchel Company. I bought one in navy blue.
