Cambridge

This weekend we took a quick jaunt over to Cambridge. We were really lucky with the weather, it was perfect to have a stroll around and look at all the beautiful architecture of the university colleges.

If you're in the area, there is a really tasty vegetarian/ vegan restaurant opposite King's, called Rainbow cafe. It is reasonably priced and has loads of options. All the food is freshly prepared on site using in season ingredients. I had Latvian Potato Bake, which tasted like proper comfort food, the only disappointed was the side salad, which was a bit too basic. For pudding I had lavender and chocolate vegan cheesecake, which was delicately flavoured and creamy. I'd also recommend the ginger beer.


Ranibow cafe, don't be put off by the slightly dodgy alleyway, it's a gem

A lot of the colleges charge an entrance fee, but Pembroke College allows visitors to stroll around the quad for free. It's my sisters old college, so I've stayed in one of the rooms when I visited in her first year, the buildings are stunning, but I remember her room was draughty and noisy.
