Just a quick post for a quick day trip that we did during the first bank holiday weekend in May. Orignally had planned to head to Cambridge for the day with Greg and Kath, but for various reasons, that fell through. So Lisa and me decided to spend the afternoon out in Oxford.Jumped on the overland trains from Paddington to Oxford, which took about an hour to get there. I felt right at home, considering the majority of the trip is what I normally do every day when heading to work out at Theale.
Once we arrived at Oxford, didn't really have any set plans or things that we 'had' to see. So instead, just walked around and looked at a few shops. While walking around, we stumbled across a walking tour that was just about to start. We looked at each other and thought - yep, this will be a great way to fill 2 hours in the afternoon. So off we went - the tour guide was fairly informative (as you'd hope), and was a tour of quite a few of the oldest colleges in the centre of London.
It is a beautiful town, and had a great vibe to it (maybe due to the high number of pubs/food joints that were geared towards accommodating students).
We had hoped to stay into the evening there, but the weather did start to take a bit of a turn, and we had only worn clothes appropriate to warm weather, so at about 5pm, we came home.
So yes, only a quick little visit, but it was a good way to spend a day out on a sunday.
