12:15:52 One of the churches on the way into Cambridge - I think we particularly liked the gargoyles. | 13:05:04 The tapas stall where Erika and I got our (not very healthy) lunch. | 13:12:27 Erika sharing some patatas bravas and aubergine fritters with me. These were quite good. | 13:14:28 The market seen from the place where we stood to eat our tapas, no seating available anywhere. |
13:30:57 The Corpus Clock. | 13:31:35 | 13:31:58 | 13:33:57 A man busking from inside a bin. |
13:40:24 Sweet shop window with a reflection of part of King's College. | 13:42:10 King's College. | 13:44:32 Chie and Erika in an alleyway somewhere near King's College. | 13:44:41 Looking back down the alleyway to King's. |
13:45:47 Vines growing beside a church. | 13:46:00 Seems they're already past veraison - and also maybe a bit magnesium deficient like mine? | 14:06:47 Heading to King's College for our visit to the chapel. | 14:08:37 |
14:11:13 Heading into the chapel. | 14:12:18 Inside the chapel. Chie and I had been in once before, in 2011, but if anything it seemed more impressive today - perhaps it was the constrast between the dull grey skies outside and the brilliant light inside. | 14:12:55 | 14:14:24 |
14:15:02 Or maybe some restoration work had taken place in the interim? The stained glass windows were a riot of colour today, really spectacular. | 14:15:11 | 14:16:44 | 14:18:31 |
14:18:51 | 14:19:40 You'd really think it was a sunny blue sky sort of a day outside. | 14:19:46 | 14:21:33 |
14:23:25 | 14:25:45 After leaving the chapel, the college green. Unfortunately under the current circumstances you don't really get to see any more of the colloge on the tour. | 14:26:31 | 14:27:16 |
14:32:06 To the river. | 14:35:43 We followed the sign to go and take a look at the Cam. | 14:35:48 | 14:36:39 Spotted a floating bar, this looked excellent. |
14:38:16 | 14:38:23 | 14:42:17 Nice view of the backs here I thought. | 14:45:05 A guy propoelling his kayak with a spade. |
14:45:06 | 14:48:45 More wandering around Cambridge. | 14:50:22 Almost a bit of blue sky there? | 14:54:05 I think this is one of the gates to Trinity College. |
14:54:07 | 14:54:20 | 15:11:06 I thought this was quite a nice scene, with the bike, the wall, and the flowers. | 16:58:30 We went to check into our hotel, and had a laze around there for a bit, but I felt compelled to get out and have another stroll. Near our hotel - possibly Pembroke College? |
17:08:50 A takeaway pint from the Mill Inn. Yes the plastic pint glass spoils the aesthetic a bit, but given the Mill had a park immediately opposite this was effectively yhe only functioning pub in Cambridge - the only place you could turn up and have an impromptu pint without needing a table reservation. | 17:10:51 I should add there were plenty of recycling bins nearby. | 17:27:56 The mathematical bridge. | 17:28:03 |
17:29:49 Gate to Queen's College. | 17:34:19 I thought this little lane was cute and made a mental note that we should buy a house here for when Erika comes to Cambridge. | 18:45:40 Out for dinner, although our efforts to find a suitable place weren't very successful, so we ended up getting takeaway and taking it back to our hotel. | 19:10:08 Nice sky from this spot where I waited for our takeaway. |
19:47:31 The view from our hotel room. | 19:51:55 I suppose takeaway at the hotel worked quite well in a way as we could each have different things - Chie and I had pho, Erika had a burger from Five Guys. | 20:00:21 Headed out for an evening drink to round off the day after dinner, and were just a bit too late to catch the sunset. | 20:00:49 |
20:00:52 | 20:07:52 Back to the Mill Inn, it being the only functioning pub in Cambridge this weekend. | 20:08:28 Very quiet around here this evening! | 20:10:21 Cheers. |
20:10:31 The three of us having our al fresco evening drinks. It was actually a bit chilly at this point. | 20:13:08 The Mill in the evening. | 20:13:53 Tiny bit of pink sky remaining. | 20:14:11 |
20:16:26 | 20:18:32 Erika wearing my jacket because she was cold. | 20:18:37 | 20:23:37 Cheers, The Mill. You are now my favourite pub in Cambridge. |
20:29:11 Walked back by way of the Corpus clock again. |
