Cambridge

After a day catching up with Gus, Jamie and Zac in London, I took a train to Cambridge to meet Kelley after her few days in Warsaw.  I arrived Thursday night and only had a day there to look around while Kelley worked.  I hired a bike and had a great time looking around. It was a brilliant day but unfortunately it was study time for students with exams coming up so a number of the colleges were closed to visitors.  I managed to get in for a look around a few though and I was more interested in just riding around the town in the sunshine with the thousands of other cyclists.

Kelley's hotel was pretty cool, an old wine cellar with funny shaped rooms.  Kelley's opened up onto a lobby / bathroom with a big bath, then through to the bedroom with a little TV room behind it.  Very unusual.

Not the right city, but Coronation St all the same.

Struck it lucky in the afternoon as this sign caught my eye.  Fortunately they let me in for a look around.  I could see that Selwyn in Dunedin was modelled on the original.

And then I stumbled on this one

Looks quite familiar, only bigger and older.

So I had a great day.  Handed the bike back in at half past 4, Kelley got back from work and we caught the train back to London for the night before flying to Istanbul the next morning.
