A wet day in Cambridge (New Zealand)

Our shakedown trip on the bus.  We packed some clothes and food, made up the bed...


and headed off to Cambridge, where we spent a rainy night before exploring the town. 

Cambridge is famous for it's horses and there were horsey references everywhere.


We wandered around admiring the heritage buildings,


and exploring the antique shops...



We also spent time looking around the museum. Then we went for a loop walk along both sides of the river, starting at the bridge that looked like it was made from meccano.


Built in 1907 this was the first hinged, arched bridge built in Australasia. There were five cars in Cambridge at this time, becoming, it was said, as common as wandering cows. 



It was pretty wet down by the river...


...and mossy. 

At this point our friends Jo, Allister and Elaine arrived and we moved the bus to the airbnb they had rented.
