We made it to Cambridge relatively easily - when you program Annabel for 'shortest route' things can get interesting. Saw some wildlife on the way - first a squirrel scampered across the road in front of us and then later we passed 2 (white) swans posing beside the road. The Premier Inn, our home for the night. was in a new area of Cambridge - must be the first time we've seen modern buildings for a while.
We successfully negotiated the bus service into Cambridge (driving and parking was an option best consigned to the 'impossible' category) and signed up for a city bus tour. This has an audio commentary delivered via earphones to each seat - very nifty - so by the end we were full bottles on all aspects of college life in Cambridge and then some (we've since forgotten a lot of it). Did you know that if you want to go to university in Cambridge you must first apply to and be accepted by a college before you then apply for university?
Back at the hotel, we enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant and then buckled down to packing our cases. You do get lazy when you are living out of a suitcase AND a car and we were due to return the hire car the next day. Eventually we pulled the zips closed on the motley collection of stuff in each case, and went to bed.
