A couple of weekends back we headed inland from here to the beautiful University city of Cambridge with all the Colleges which together, make up Cambridge University. When we left it was persisting down and we wondered just what we'd let ourselves in for given we were stepping further outside the comfort zone and not booking accommodation. However, by the time we arrived in Cambridge, two and a half hours later it had stopeed raining. We found a B&B through the Information Centre, caught a bus to it, dropped off our bags etc and bussed back to the city centre just in time to catch a very informative and interesting two hour guided tour of the city. We even had enough time to take in Evensong at Kings College Chapel and in the gloom of early evening we found our way to the Bridge of Sighs which, although built some centuries back, was modelled on the original in Venice. The Sunday morning, after a huge full English breakfast, we walked back into the city via the Cam River and Jesus Green to go to a Remembrance Day Mass at the Catholic Cathedral. Then followed a visit to the Fitzherbert Gallery (where it was warm!!), another hike across town to the Round Church and eventually we found our way in the Sunday night (?) dark - at 4.30pm - to the bus for our return to Colchester.
