Oxford – Day one

Posted bykimandsallyPosted inUncategorized

We left our BNB around 9 am on another hot London day. We were bound for Paddington Station to get our train to our next destination – Oxford.

A pleasant one hour journey through quaint villages and lush countryside, and we were there. Checked into our accommodation, then headed back into town for lunch at the markets, and then hopped on the hop on hop off bus to see the sights.

These markets had a huge variety of food from many different cultures, some of the best we have seen.
Building in central Oxford
Lots of terraced housing
If you look closely, you see all sorts on things depicted in the stonework
The detail by the stone masons is incredible
Because Lewis Carroll lectured at Christchurch (one of the universities here) there are lots of references to Alice in Wonderland all over the place!

We finished off our exploration by having a lovely cool walk alongside the picturesque Thames River.
