Critters along the Path

Posted on September 29, 2017 by vanbraman

While walking back and forth to work I have been enjoying the path that I take.

There is a lot of vegetation along the way with bushes, vines, trees and just plain old weeds 🙂

I have kept my eye out for flowers, berries and leaves as well as critters.

Walk from work, Cambridge, SpiderIn my post A Walk to the Hotel I shared a picture of a spider, so will include it in this post also.

Snail and Leaf, walk, rainy day, wet walkYesterday the walk to work was a bit wet as it had just finished raining. Along the path I found a snail alongside a beautiful leaf.

I saw some bees flying around and was able to catch one on a bunch of beautiful little flowers.

Spider on Web, Walk, Path, critters

I have been watching out for spiders and was able to find a nice big web near the path. I got a couple pretty nice pictures of this orb spider. I played around a bit with the settings on my camera to try and get a clear focus.

Now that the work week is done I will be able to do some sightseeing in Cambridge before heading on to Germany. Hopefully I will have some nice pictures to share with you tomorrow.

Nando’s Fix VI

Posted on September 28, 2017 by vanbraman

Tonight I got my Nando’s Fix.  I had been looking forward to eating at Nando’s since I found out I was taking the trip here to Cambridge.

Of course, Nando’s is in many places worldwide, but not anywhere close to home.

Nando's Fix, Nando's, Peri Peri Chicken, chicken chains, CambridgeHere was the welcome sign outside the door of the Nando’s we ate at tonight. It is not the same location where I have eaten at in the past. See Nando’s Fix V.

Nando’s was founded in South Africa, and I first ate at a Nando’s just over 16 years ago in September 2001.

Nando's Napkin, Cambridge, Chicken Dinner

Nando’s always has some interesting sayings on their napkins. I like this one. It is a simple Pucker Up!

I was out to dinner with a handful of people from work. Once I had said something about wanting to go to Nando’s they also wanted to go. One of my colleagues is originally from South Africa, so she really enjoyed it.

At Nando’s they have a wide selection of Peri-Peri sauces. I like the taste of the Medium Peri-Peri Sauce, but also the heat of the hotter ones.

Here is the chicken that I ordered. I had both chips and mashed potatoes, which I know is a bit strange. However, I like both at Nando’s and just had to have them.

I tried the Mango-Lime chicken tonight and it was very good.

Chicken Bones, delicious meal, Nando's FixThe chicken was so good that I ate all but the bones. Here is a picture of my bone pile. I was really hungry and I had a very light lunch.

Nando's Chicken, Cambridge, Neon SignAs we were leaving I stopped to take a picture of the big neon chicken that is on the side of the restaurant. I think it looks pretty cool 🙂

It was nice to get my Nando’s fix. How long will I have to wait for my next one? Maybe just till Saturday 🙂

Have you ever eaten at Nando’s?
