On Saturday me and the girls went to the beautiful city of Cambridge, having never been before I was very excited. Luckily the weather was sunny & hot all day so I got to wear my H&M printed shorts (£14.99) with a rust basic vest (£3.99) & New Look Lattice Sandals (£13.50)
When we first arrived in Cambridge we ate breakfast at Bills - Full English with a Melon, Peach & Raspberry Smoothie yummy!
After we went PUNTING with beautiful views of Cambridge we managed to only collide with a few boats busiest river I've ever seen
Eating strawberries & drinking Pink Moscato
The girls
After we visited the rooftop bar in The Varsity Hotel a bit expensive but worth it when you see the views of Cambridge from up high
I must admit I actually prefer Cambridge to Oxford so much more character & lots of cute shops!

When in Cambridge punting is a must do...
ReplyDeleteAlthough crowded in weekends it is nice, and relaxing to see the major colleges from the water. Interesting talk from the guide in a very old punter and waiting ttimes for onboarding too long.
