Cambridge is just so typically British. I just loved everything about it, except it is really bustling with people, so a bit crowded for such a small place. The atmosphere for me screamed college town, but over there they call them unis, and there are so many packed in to one city. I loved feeling like we were walking around a Hogwarts town and our afternoon tea was to die for.

A unique experience we had while here was going to a very secluded
river club in Cambridge. After an afternoon walking around this Hogwarts
like city, afternoon tea at the cutest little place ever and searching
for the perfect uni courtyard we are picked up on the backside of the
colleges and taken down the road. You would never even know it was there
as you drive by, but you just pull off the road to park and walk down
an overrun path to a locked wooden gate. Once inside you wind through
some shrubs and trees to find yourself on the riverbank. There are a few
places to put chairs up and we sit down to a picnic. It is quiet,
peaceful and feels like you are in your own world. Naked men are jumping
in the river beside boats as they float around lead by men like
gondolas in Venice. What an experience this was!
After enjoying charming Cambridge the next day headed to Wimpole Estate. Such a lovely place to tour for the afternoon, even in the dreary weather. We walked around the house, the grounds and even had tea at the shop. It's no Pemberly, but it will do.
Tune in for more about our time as we travel North!
