Saturday 26 April 2008

We FINALLY had some spring weather and decided to take a late planned daytrip out to the historic academic community of Oxford.

Arriving just in time to grab the last two available slots in the last walking tour, we were able to go into two of the colleges viewing the historic dining halls and their individual chapels.

The most visual of the two was the chapel at Exeter College which was patterned after Ste. Chapelle which I had just visited in Paris.

Afterwards we walked through the city’s main sights including the Bridge of Sighs (patterned after the original in Venice).

And also…

Christ Church College, the Radcliffe Camera along with the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin and the Carfax Tower.


What better way to finish the day than a couple visits to some 700 year old pubs?

Can’t think of many…

Well... Amy's feet might argue that soak in the tub once we arrived back in London was a better finish.
