Cambridge is obviously known for its international leading colleges. Lots of world's famous and smart people are the fruit of the education in this city such as Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, and Alan Turing. So, now that we have a chance to be in Cambridge, why not visit these colleges which not only contribute to the birth of innovative and pioneering theories, their buildings are undeniably astonishing.
True that we are not smart enough to come here as college students, but who said we could not use our traveler's right and pretend to be a Cantabrigian for a day!
Cambridge is not a very big city and we can do all the landmarks in just a day. We started off with visiting the King's College and Chapel. Seeing this aesthetic building from the ground alone is amazing, but it's even better from the bird-eyed view. Everything seems very small from up above, we can see the markets, the residents, pretty much everything. The view from up here assures the fact that Cambridge is truly a charming city.
After visiting King's College, we made two other college hops to Clare College and Trinity College where went Sir Isaac Newton. We assure you that these two buildings are not less impressive than the King's College.
As Cambridge is situated on the River Cam, one of the things they usually do here is punting. Most students spend their free time on punting for tourists as their part-time job. Unfortunately, it was too cold to do the punting for us right now. So, we chose to have a drink in a Pub called Eagle which is very famous and always crowded with students and tourists. The legendary behind this pub is that Francis Crick and James Watson went in and announce that they have discovered DNA in 1953.
In the late afternoon, we were strolling around the city and found lots of cute shops and beautiful residents along the way.
...and what is a better day to end a very amazing day than at the cheeky Nando's...
Adventure awaits!
