botanical gardens fo free!

Now I'm sure when I titled this 'fo free' my family automatically assumed I stole something. You're only half wrong. It said Cambridge students got free admission if they could produce a school ID. Obviously Karla and I knew that we weren't really Cambridge students but decided to play dumb and use our abroad cards (which are in fact only used to swipe our meals). The lady took pity on us and let us in even though she made it clear we were supposed to pay. AYO!! WHO JUST SAVED 5 POUNDS?! we did.

Never thought I'd that, but okay. This was in the carnivorous plant room of the glasshouse. It upsets me to say that there were unfortunately no venus fly traps.

The Botanical Gardens were huge and had a fountain, a glasshouse, and about 8 different ponds. Or maybe it was the same pond just seen from 8 different angles. So far it's my favorite thing in Cambridge, behind punting of course! Karla and I spend about 2 hours there, half of which was in one spot taking pictures of trees reflecting in the pond.
