Well...
LOTS of Museums
Kings College Chapel (where the Xmas carols are broadcast worldwide)
What sort of thigs are you interested in?
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

"Punt"
but mind the bridge that curves in to the river.
I was gently pushed in to the river by it.
A slow motion nowhere to go moment
I eat to survive
I drink to forget
I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)

If you have an interest in aircraft then Duxford is a must.

Cambridge is a nice city to visit - but full of tourists at the moment. Loads of colleges, but some/many are charging to go in (e.g. Kings).
Fitzwilliam museum is top-class if you like that sort of thing. The city centre is much the same as any other, perhaps a bit more decorative.
As Paul says, Duxford is a must if you like aircraft. Not too far out of Cambridge.
One thing - forget trying to take a car into the city - it's a nightmare. The park-and-rides are first-rate, frequent and reasonably cheap.

That explains the weather!
As already suggested the Fitzwilliam is worth a vist, I've lived in /around Cambridge for nearly 60 years and only went for the first time a
year or so ago and found it very interesting. Duxford (Imperial war museum is worth a look . Punting is good IF the weather is kind but watch out for
the punt touts who can be a bit aggressive . Best bet is to hire one yourself and have a go . As for local meets , I have tried in the past to
organise one but don't tend to get a lot of interest apart from Paul (907) and Geoff (wilkingj) . Let us know when you are in Cambridge and we
can perhaps organise something . Mel
