Chocolate, Cooking and Cycling in Cambridge

For easter weekend we were lucky enough to have use of Julz and Ollie's appartment in Cambridge. We caught the train up from London on Friday with our bikes and found our way to their appartment. First stop was the nearby ASDA to stock up on ingedients for a weekend of baking (they have an oven and we don't). Friday afternoon/evening was spent making bagels, eating garlic bread and roast lamb.

Saturday we went on a big bike ride through the Cambridge countryside. First we went into town, wandered around the markets, marvelled at the big old buildings of the Cambridge Colleges, and admired the river. Then before we knew it we were out into the country. We made a stop off at the American Cemetary (from world war two), a little village with a church and nothing else, a little village without a pub, and a tiny little village with a pub.

Sunday we went for a ride into town again, and wandered around the pedestrian streets. In the afternoon we cooked up a roast chicken for lunch with some homemade ciabatta bread, and spent the afternoon relaxing and reading our books. We also made chocolate easter bunnies!
