Oxford

It's my last weekend in Cambridge, so we thought we should check out the rival college town, Oxford. Due to the theft of a signal cable, the trains were all delayed so we got there a bit later than we expected. But it was well worth the wait! We started Alice's shop, a small shop filled with Alice in Wonderland merchandise. After having lunch in a little tea room (I am so going to miss tea and scones!), we headed over to Christ Church. This is a beautiful school where Lewis Carroll worked as a math tutor, and also the setting for some of the Harry Potter movies.
After wandering around the grounds, we started wandering around the streets, enjoyng the sights and taking lots of pictures! We had some JRR Tolkien fans in our group, so we decided to find his grave. After the group paid their respects, we rode around on a double-decker bus, and then had dinner at The Eagle & Child, a pub where both C.S. Lewis and Tolkien hung out. We were all pretty worn out from the hectic morning of travel, so we decided to head back after dinner. We very much enjoyed Oxford, but we all are in agreement that Cambridge is the better town to be in!
