Today we visited the fine town of Oxford where we were immersed into more of this country’s rich history. The architecture of the town was truly spectacular! It was a fine opportunity to see what London might have looked like today had the great fire not of occurred. Today, we walked in the footsteps of some of the world’s finest and brightest. The city’s rich literature history was just as equally compelling as its educational.
We visited the Bodleian Library which was absolutely beautifully and also went for an amazing tour of Christ Church. Our tour guide- Shaun aka "Bowler Hat Guy"- was one of our best guides yet! We definitely got the inside scoop and the VIP tour. We ended the day taking a sneak preview of what will be the Story Museum and then had a delightful dinner at the famous Eagle and Child pub or Bird and Baby as it's known to the locals. The talented likes of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien otherwise known as the "Inklings" made it a habit of going round there for drinks and writing some stories a few of you might have heard of... :)
It was wonderful to see such a beautiful town and I'm looking forward to some relaxing this weekend!
