We have had some great visits to Oxford in the past so we decided this time around to visit the ‘other’ college town, Cambridge. When our river cruise was over on Sunday March 8th, we flew from Budapest to London. From Heathrow Airport we boarded a National Bus at the central bus terminal that is located outside terminal 3. We had reserved seats on the bus.
I was still being careful about my right foot, elevating it as much as possible while we waited for our bus. I wanted to be able to walk about Cambridge for the next 6 days without pain and swelling.
We were dropped off in central Cambridge and found the best walking route to The Wilde where we had reservations for the next 6 nights.
The lobby was a very nice welcoming space. We settled in and headed out to The Baron of Beef for a meal.
We had breakfast at the Budapest airport and were ready for a good meal this evening.
We were back in the land of Sticky Toffee Pudding, Meat pies, and Fish and Chips.
Satisfied we headed back to the Wilde to get some rest for Monday March 9th, our first full day in Cambridge.

We fly into Manchester later this year and it will be our first time to visit there! We are looking forward to seeing all of the sights. We’ve heard that we can eat “the best Indian food in the world” while in London??
How smart to use the bus system! I never did that while we lived there, but it looks like an easy option. I’m looking forward to seeing more about Cambridge.
Looks and sounds like a great time. Your meal looks delicious.
It looks like a great trip! Your meal looks so good, you can’t beat sticky toffee pudding!
Hello, Ellen
I am glad your transfer to Cambridge was so easy. Your meal and the hotel look great.
Take care, have a happy weekend.
Food looks delicious. The hotel looks so nice!!!
What a wonderful place, especially with a side of chips!
How exciting you were back in the land of Sticky Toffee Pudding, Meat pies, and Fish and Chips and lets not forget Mushy Peas, a favorite side of mine 🙂 I may have missed your post about a foot problem. Was it a sprain? I hope not and also hope you have fully recovered by now. Lovely to see the places you saw. Happy June Ellen!
I’m looking forward to reading your posts about Cambridge as we are heading there for a few days next week. B x
…I don’t know about Sticky Toffee Pudding and Meat pies, but I know Fish and Chips as a Friday Fish Fry!
A good meal is a great beginning to a new leg of the journey! (I have missed so many posts in my busyness . . . I have missed what happened to your foot. Hope everything is back to normal now!)
You really enjoyed some delicious looking British food in Cambridge!
