Well our time in London is over and so it is off into the country side we drive. After a slight hassle getting our hire car we leave the busy city, drive past lords cricket ground and out along the motorway to the north.
First stop is Cambridge, for a look at the many colleges. The sun is out as we make our way from the car park to the small town market, I get a chance to buy and try my first local cox apple. It has been the best apple season here for many years and although a little flowery the apple does taste delicious. We have a look around kings college and then move onto Clare college, nice to think of walking the same paths as Steven Fry. After taking a few shots of the punters on the river we are back in the car and on our way to Ely.
Ely looks splendid in the afternoon light, the sun is shining, giving the cathedral a golden glow. The Lamb hotel has had a major upgrade since I was here last year, lots of structural changes and the rooms have all been fixed up, but the food is still as I remember. After an afternoon off wondering around it is time for a meal and a pint before retrying for the night.
