A Trip to Cambridge 🌧🌳☂🏘🌹

It was cold and rainy early morning when we met at King's Cross train station. We took the train tickets from Steve, our guide, and went to look for our seats. Surprisingly, the train was very comfortable, and the sun suddenly showed up and when we looked through the window at the typical English landscape we realized that the day was going to be one of the most memorable days of our lives. And so it was...

The town looked like it came from the pages of old-fashioned novels with narrow streets, small flower shops, green plants climbing on the bricks walls and pub signboards: "The Three Horseshoes", "The Flying Pig", "The Hopbine". Seeing the river, crossing the parks and roads, with classic English boats and bridges was just as we expected (a river and the rain are always mentioned in romantic English poems).

But when we started to visit various colleges and talked about great discoveries from different centuries, we began to understand that behind the beautiful, but a bit outmoded curtain, there is a huge modern scientific world with the most advanced equipment, the newest editions of the latest books and articles from all over the world and highly qualified staff who continue to tutor and to train the new generation in future discoveries.

The rain stopped and it gave us the opportunity to enjoy our journey between old and new, traditions and progress, and romance and science.
