Travelodge Cambridge Swavesey

The last few weeks have been really manic while we've prepared to put our furniture into storage and get our property ready for letting. Thankfully, most of the hard work is completed and now we can concentrate on getting ready for our travels. It's difficult to believe that we leave in just under a week! <br><br>We fly into Delhi on Monday, arriving very early ...

... I was in need of cough medicine, and we needed another suitcase for all our stuff! Of course we managed to buy other stuff, but not surprising. Milton Keynes is similar to Chaddy or Chermside in terms of size - you can buy everything from there! <br><br>Yummy tapas for lunch, then we headed home for a bit of r&amp;r before heading out for the night with Aunty Sue and ...

... pancakes and strong coffee until opening time. I would reccomend anyone go to the Heineken experience - Josh and i were a bit 'oh it's another brewery' but it really is fantastic. Lost of interactive displays, memorabilia and a ride where you 'become the beer' and go through the brewing process - you stand on a moving platform that jerks and rolls and even sprays water at you! You also get a couple of free Heinekens - Josh rated it as better than the ...

... have elaborate tattoo art on the thigh. T- Shirts have the unique<br>Californian tattoo art. The boxers and briefs have shadow imagery and<br>tattoo graphics all over. <br style="font-family: Arial;"><br><br style="font-family: Arial;"><br>The popular themes used are snake, dragon, tiger, skull, sword,<br ...

... enjoyed the beautiful green grass and the medieval bridges and buildings of the Colleges/Universities/Chapels. It was something else!<br><br>A couple of hours later we did a walking tour of Kings College and its mind-boggling Chapel. A spritely and well-informed lady in her 60's/70's was our guide (she LOVED to tell us the 'naughty bits' about people.... but it was tastefully done. She relayed how women were allowed to study at Cambridge, but not ...

... Greyhound. One needs to patient with Amtrack. On the way back I took the Coast Starlight which went along the west coast for part of the journey. It cost about $85 and well worth it. There was food on board with regular sittings for luch and dinner. There was an observation car in which one could buy snacks and wathe the solling countryside. San Francisco and Los Angeles are big bustling cities and a bit daunting. San ...

... yelling "10 POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN FOR BAD TABLE MANNERS" at random moments during the meal. I wish I could have taken some pictures but you're weren't allowed to for some reason. After lunch we did the best thing of the whole trip. We went punting on the River Cam! Cambridge is famous for this apparently. The boats are like gondolas kind of and you have a person who pushes the boat along down the river with this big stick thing. It was absolutely amazing. The views were ...

... at work, I asked if anyone knew what had happened to the river. "Oh, some guys missing so they're draining the river," one of my colleagues said. I looked in the local paper and there was the story of the Jesus College graduate who went missing at 1am on Sunday morning, without a trace. His bike had been left locked up in town, his phone and wallet haven't been used since then. Of course, he's fallen in the river, so it's being drained. Never mind the ...

Well we made it! We arrived back in the UK to London Heathrow on Saturday 3rd June, It was a nice warm Sunny day for our return so we didn't look out of place in our sandals and tee shirts. We travelled the rest of the journey to our home town of St Neots in Cambridgeshire by train from London. It was nice to see that the house was still standing on our arrival although the lawns were 2 ft high and that our 2 ...
