Day Trip to Cambridge

ケンブリッジ大学で有名な、ケンブリッジに行ってきました。
金曜日まで最高気温が33度で、扇風機一つで乗り切るのに限界を感じていたところ、土曜日は最高気温が23度まで下がって、これこそイギリスの夏！って感じの風が吹くと寒いぐらいのいい天気で、お出かけにはぴったりでした。
ケンブリッジはうちから小一時間で行けるんだけど、実は今回が初めてで、なんで今まで行かなかったんだろう！って思うほど、ものすごく手近な超観光地でした。
ケンブリッジ大学のある街の中心部はものすごく小さいので歩いてどこでも行けるし、もうどこ見ても歴史的建造物でとてもヨーロッパ風。
寒くなる前にもう1回ぐらい行っておきたいな。
お土産に骸骨なベルトのバックル購入。骸骨に弱いんだよね、私。

We had a quick day trip to Cambridge on Saturday. Cambridge is only an hour away from where we live but this was our first time visiting Cambridge.

It is a small town and all you need to look at are pretty much all gathered at the town center so you can drop off your car at a car park and just walk around and admire all the historic buildings.

I really liked Cambridge, and definitely would like to visit there again before we leave England, which by the way is happening before the end of the year, probably sooner. However, one thing I did not like about Cambridge was... there were SO MANY tourists. It was as crowded as Piccadilly Circus on the weekend. Interestingly, almost half the tourists were Chinese and many shops even had crude hand written Chinese signs.

I saw this skull-shaped belt buckle at one of the craft stalls. It was only 5 pounds so I obviously had to have it. I don't wear a belt but thought if I make another shoulder bag, it would be cool to have the buckle on the shoulder strap. Now I have to think about a shoulder bag suitable for this buckle.
