Cambridge - Part Two

[smallhobbit]

On our second day in Cambridge we spent the morning in the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, including an excellent lunch in their café.  In the afternoon we visited the Fitzwilliam Museum (art and antiquities) which had some interesting special exhibitions, and wandered round until in SM's words, our feet fell off, when we went to their café for a cream tea.  After which we returned to sit by the side of the River Cam and watch people punting.

Lovely photos ... I don't think I've ever been to the botanic gardens in Cambridge

It's not cheap, tickets are just over £10, but if you've got time it's well worth a visit.
