Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK. There is so much about this town. This is an old town full of inspiring history, traditions and architecture. If my fingers could write as fast as my eyes can see, this blog would be incredibly long.
Old paved narrow streets fenced with old buildings on both sides, where the leading high street brands filled the windows with their modern looks. Follow uneven pavings leading to the world's prestigious colleges - St John's, King's, Queen's, Jesus, Trinity, where the last one once opened its doors to Prince of Wales, Charles Philip Arthur George, who earned his bachelor's degree in Art. But the very first college to be founded in the University of Cambridge was Peterhouse College.
If you want to know what is my favourite thing to do when I am in Cambridge, my answer is punting, of course. And I enjoy more being punted than punt myself. Only because I am so clumsy, I am scared to end up in the water.
River Cam goes through the heart of Cambridge and passes close to many attractive old college buildings I mentioned above. During the peak tourist season the collisions between inexperienced punters is a high possibility. There is nothing more spectacular and amusing to see someone in the muddy water after loosing their balance. Yet another funny thing that the students used to do, was to steal the poles from the punters, mainly tourists, as they passed below the college bridges and returning them when they eventually appeared on the other side of the bridge.
If you are in Cambridge be sure to not to stop your trip by just punting. There are so many beautiful parks and green spaces that can be enjoyed with some cool Pimm's at summer time or with some coffee in winter.
Let me know when you are around. I'd love to meet up and chat.
