Cambridge (In brief)


The trip to Cambridge was a little painful, we weren't feeling the best at all and found that finishing another beer on the train was just a bridge too far, in fact Cambridge itself may have been a bridge to far as even the discovery of a huge Weatherspoons Pub jam packed with university lass's couldn't even snap us out of our half incapacitated state. (For those unfamiliar with Weatherspoon's pubs they are pubs that serve the absolute cheapest beer ever though have the downside of only being frequented by very old and very drunk men)

Cambridge is a University town..and no, nothing like Palmerston North. It along with Oxford university are the two of the most famous academic institutions in the world with past students including:
Charles, Prince of Wales, Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, John Cleese, Sylvia Plath, C.S. Lewis, Ian McKellen and of course New Zealands most famous (perhaps only?) nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford.
