London Stay

I was lucky enough to take a break of 10 days at London after three months of slogging at work in US. Half my stay at UK was at Cambridge and the remaining half at London. 4 days can barely do justice to visit London. What I did in these 4 days was just hopping tubes and coaches to get the length and breadth of the town. Was trying to familiarize with as many localities and points of interests as possible, rather than spending time at just one location. But on the final day I took it easy and spent all the time at Greenwich.
While US was work work work, UK stay was fun hop fun.

mini vrfrenz meet at Camridge

London still seems to be far. My friend, Praveen who was supposed to be here a day before, came down yesterday from Brighton, to see us.

From left, it's me, Niranjan Hiremath and Praveen Hosangadi. Grad time friends. They happen to stay here in UK for their masters.

We were hanging out in the most happening streets of Cambridge, till 3 in the morning. Oh! it's my birthday today. Wished me ?

Guide walk tour of Cambridge

I am still hovering around in Cambridge and yet to visit London. It was a day of Guided walk tour y'day. After spending sometime at Cambridge University Press book shop, I decided to take the guided walk tour to get to know Cambridge from inside. For 10 Pounds, it is still a value for money. What you get to see and hear is a little bit of Cambridge history, Important places, inside view of of one of the colleges and a visit King's college Chapel.

Cambridge on 4 wheels

While Day-1 of the cambridge was on 2 wheels Day-2 belonged to 4 wheeler. Since the Weather forecast for London was Heavy rain, I dropped the idea of visiting London.Instead, took the opportunity to visit our office in Cambridge Research Park.

Best way to get around in Cambridge is to buy Day rider Ticket for 3 Pounds. You can have unlimited number of rides. Visit to office was nice and short. Research Park is outside the city Limits and still not fully occupied.

Later in the noon, I took this citi13 bus which was leading to Haverhill via Linton. What a beautiful countryside!

Some confusion in the return journey led me to long long waits in the bus stops. End of the day, am more comfortable now getting around in Cambridge using public transport.

Cambridge on 2 wheels

This morning I had this confusion. To start with London or Cambridge ? Then I found out on the web that there is a Guided walk tour starting at Visitor information centre. I knew it's going to be difficult to get there in the first hit in an unknown place.
I took bicycle and went roaming in the noon at my own pace. Bicycle is so much part of this town's dwellers. There are dedicated cycle paths throughout the city. Mild cloudy weather was just perfect for a outing. Visited King's college, Trinity College, Whipper and Zoology museums. I sorta understand the topology of the town, the roads and other points of interest of cambridge. There is more to explore. But today's idea was just go out and see. Old educational institutions, museum, nice parks, Punting people, Bicycle rides. That's Cambridge for you.
