Royal Cambridge

... s hard to explain - there was obviously so much more to explore and take in...... like unfinished business. Then...

The taxi driver asked us if we would be coming back again. When we replied "no", he knowingly said "You will be back! See you next year!"

What could we say??!

Maybe he knows something we don't....

Departure is 6th April 2010, which is about 6months away.

This post is just a pre-introduction, because I need to clean the windows (seriously) and will write a better, more indepth post with itinerary, kit list, worries etc. later,

... will exist in my backpack. This will take some getting used to I think! I also seem to have come down with a rather wonderful cold- still, better here than on arrival in Bangkok.

One week tomorrow- oh my god! I just can't believe its come around so soon, feels like yesterday it was just an idea and now its a week away. Still lots to sort out, scanning a million things I will probably ...

We arrive at Stansted at about 8pm and proceed to have a, probably, day old burger somewhere in the airport. Yum. Turns out that all the shops, in the departure lounge and outside, close at about 9pm so we have to sit around for 4 hours before our flight boards with nada to do.

Finally we get on the flight with a load of other backpacker types and head to Malaysia!

... br>From Cambridge we decided to go and pay Helen's Aunt a visit, simply on the basis she has pet Chickens and a couple of Dogs I adore. On the way, we stopped off for lunch at Mildenhall and Lakenheath, two small towns that are fairly boring...except they are pretty much a part of the USA. Most of the cars are American, most of the population are, and the huge Jets ...

Took the train today into London from the nearest station at St Neots. Chris offered to act as travel guide. Booked a London Original Bus tour of all the sights which was great, as you could hop on/off all day. Managed to visit many of the monopoly board squares, including Picadilly Circus, Nelsons Square, The Strand, Hyde Park and so on. Beautiful warm day, so the open-topped double-decker bus was definitely a ...

... of aquatic amusement. Today, we decided last minute to go to Kew Gardens. This was not a highly touted destination in our books, but we loved it. It is 300 acres of a variety of gardens and garden-related sights. There was a glasshouse Conservatory (sponsored originally by Princess Diana) that was very extensive and had probably avery climate type of plant you could imagine, plus some animal life. Very ...

... tailgating people and blocking cyclists (I now understand why I can never get past large vans when I'm on my bike - they're just too wide to stay in their lane and leave enough room to get past). We now both have 60 litre bags which contain our possessions for the next six months. They're both quite full but it's surprising how much space six months of daily contact lenses take up - at least ...

... of Cambridge. It really seems like a neat place - the buildings are all old and brick, and where new buildings have been built they seem to have taken care to work in a similar style. The Cam flows through the city, and is quite a dainty little river - we would call it a stream in NZ. It is nothing like the Waikato. We had dinner with Steph & Pete and then went back to the YHA to get a good nights sleep. Sunday we headed down town again to buy a few bits and ...
