during my niece's epic visit over the holidays we spent a day in cambridge (click here for more info), a beautiful university town located in cambridgeshire. it was my second time, the first being last spring and i'm smitten. the architecture is amazing, and the best way to experience it is by boat. a popular way to see cambridge is by punting,a flat bottomed boat navigated with a pole by a 'punter' - more than likely a current former uni student who also serves as your tour guide. i recommend pricing the punters - as there are a plethora of them - and if you can, try to go with a smaller boat with less people (they can tend to over pack the boats) and one with blankets (you'll thank me later)! the punters are usually very knowledgeable and entertaining. if you like wine - bring some of that too, it will keep you warm! in addition to the history and architecture, there is a good selection of shopping and restaurants (though if you go on a sunday, be prepared for many of the shops to be closed, as we did). we found an italian restaurant and i had the most delicious pizza with parma ham and rocket salad, the previous time we enjoyed tapas and sangria. the christmas lights were a treat!
