After 4 days of being in the UK, I was starting to feel more and more at home. The winter was not really as cold as I expected it to be. There were some warm days in between and the weather was at its worse for a little less than 2 or 3 hours. Most of my British friends make fun of the UK in terms of its weather; "It always rains in the UK" is what they would say.
After exploring Norwich and taking a drive down to the northern coast of Norflok for watching seals, I decided to visit the town of Cambridge. A university town, Cambridge turned out to be quite a nice place. Nice girls, good cheap food and a nice sunny day made it for a great visit to Cambridge.
I took the train from Norwich towards Cambridge. The train trip took a little more than an hour.

Taking the train back to Norflok. One of my favorite pictures of the entire trip is of this train. "Enjoy the Present" it says. So true.
Cambridge was the last of the places that I would visit during my stay at Norwich. I wish I had more time to explore the countryside of Norflok, but I had to let it be for a second visit. I was bound for a day in Oxford, one of the cities that had been on my list for a long, long time. I was taking the second train bound to Oxford from Norflok. I had a friend who studied at Oxford and looked forward to meeting her.

Check back soon for more on my backpacking trip across UK. I will have more stories to share of my adventures through Scandinavia, and South East Asia. For now, cheers!
Quality photos. Cambridge is my home so great to see it through a fresh lense. By the way, we are officially a city.

Thank you. Great city to be in as a student I feel. The one thing I missed out on in the city was hitting the pubs to drink some ale. I wish I had more than a day to look around. But next time :)
