The botanics are nice, but then Cambridge is very easy to keep people happy in if it's not raining. If it is raining I would normally take friends back to my room and feed them tea / hot chocolate because I Hate Pubs (being too expensive and not private enough)
But I know nothing about what your friend is like. Nice interesting dry things in Cambridge include the museums (especially the sidgewick geology museum and the arch and anth museum, which have respectively pretty rocks and a dinosaur, and a three story high totem pole) Oh, and the Wren libray is so cool, with original principia and winnie the pooh and some really shiney illuminated manuscirpts, but it has weird opening times you'd have to check. It may be that this weekend is fairburns or clare novices, and watching boaties prat about is always fun, especially for non cambridge people to laugh at us, or you could go punting. Although it's a bit cold. And will probably rain. Just wandering round colleges talking is nice, if the weather's good enough.
