Two day trip to Cambridge and Norfolk. These two places were on this list of places not visited so we though it would be a good opportunity , booked the hotel and off we went. It's only an 80 mile drive from Coventry, a comfortable hour and a half. Weather was kind to us, cloudy but only a few showers of rain. After Penny remembered the name of the hotel we entered it into the satnav and arrived with ease. A nice place overlooking the River Cam then with umbrellas in hand went off for a short walk through the park to the city centre. Luckily we were next to Jesus Green park and not Midsummer Fields as we might not have have made it across given the how often murders occur in Midsummer.

Cambridge is very much like Oxford, great looking looking colleges, plenty of students and many many bicycles. St. Johns College has obviously many business courses as they charge £10 to visit the place, naturally we past them by and paid £1 to go into Trinity College.

Mind you there is a tremendous sense of history here, in the entrance to the chapel, which is in itself beautiful, there are statues of some of the old boys. Isaac Newton, Tennyson and Francis Bacon to name a few

After our walk around Cambridge which included another Costa coffee we made it back to the hotel for a wash and brush up before heading back to Cafe Rouge for dinner. The weather improved during dinner, the sun came out so we strolled along the river. There was a family of swans, parents and 2 signets, the cutest thing was the sight of one on the back of one of the swans.
