We set off early from Cornwall to return our car to Cambridge, so the day was a series of interchanges, motorways, slip roads and traffic, but no major setbacks.
As we moved west, the landscape opened out and it was easier to see fields and barns without the tall hedgerows blocking our view.
The rest stop was well appointed and super busy, but we were able to find seating and a table to eat our picnic fare, which was topped off with my absolute favorite chocolate bar: a Crunchie.
Sorting of waste and recycling at the rest stop
We racked up just under 1,000 miles in the week we drove around - not bad. When Craig fetched us from the Europcar drop-off, he very kindly took us to parts of Cambridge we had not yet seen.
Here are some of the drive-by sights:
Frontage of our Lady of the Assumption and English Martyrs Catholic church
Reality Checkpoint in Parker's Piece - the lamppost to the right of the Ferris wheel is said to represent the separation between academia and the real world.
Beautiful sculpture outside the Scott Polar Research Institute
Our day ended with a fresh garden salad and pizza with Craig and Sue - awesome!
