London is a
great city, fun, alive, full of resources. It is a city from which you feel the
need to escape, to get away from its busy streets, from its rhythm, to seek
some peace and silence. Where to go? Where to seek shelter without having to go
too far away?
Boarding a
coach from Victoria with some friends, here I go to the chosen destination:
Cambridge. Once there we could not find ourselves in something more British:
old buildings, universities and grey sky and the well known light rain that is
always associated with England.
We walked
through town for the whole afternoon, exploring the universities campuses, the
churches, and avoiding all those shops that can be found everywhere in the
world. Every time we got to the main square, a different young student from one
of the universities would try to sell us their boat tour. If the first time we
were considering it, by the fifth our will to go on a boat with the rain was
non-existing. We’d rather save money and walk around this perfect British landscape.
And to end
properly this day, there was no better option than a burger and a pint in one
of the pubs, before boarding the bus that would get us back to chaotic and
noisy central London.
