On to Cambridge

Travel (so far) doesn’t get much easier than this – except for the whole ‘red-eye’ flight thing.  The flight from Detroit landed at Heathrow over an hour early.  We topped off our ‘Oyster’ transit cards and picked up our mobile wifi unit (thanks for the suggestion Ed – works great!).  A painless Underground ride to King’s Cross station and 50 minute Great Northern ride later and we’re in Cambridge.

We’re staying at the Earl of Derby, a pub/B&B a short walk from the town center.  The Earl is tied to the ‘Greene King’ brewery and has a nice set of real ales on Ryan’s first pint was an ‘Old Speckled Hen’.    Good pick!

We took what was intended to be a short walk into town and ended up a recon of the city’s many CAMRA pubs:  the Flying Pig, the Mill (!), the  Hopbine,  and the Maypole.  Sleep came easy
