After a nauseating ferry ride we were welcomed by the white cliffs of Dover and England's best friend: the rain. We pushed straight on to Oxford. This small city is full of students, which makes sense because it has the oldest (12th C) and probably most beautiful university of the UK 🎓. Their Bodleian Library is one of the most important in the world. All this history combined with lots of vegan food made for a great start of our trip!Läs mer

Oxford University is a collection of colleges. I’m not sure how many there are but I saw at least 12. My favorite is Somerville. Many women I respect attended including former PM Margaret Thatcher. By Oxford standards it is the most liberal. For example educational robes are not required during formal halls, very recently the college went co-Ed and men are now allowed entrance and most uniquely, everyone can walk on the grass.

All of the bikes in the two photos are in the same parking area, it took two photos to capture the entire lot.Läs mer

1 Planet 1 Bag The whole little town looked like these buildings. Even the modern addition and extensions to buildings blended in.

So many really cool buildings, but I suppose that's to be expected in Oxford. More Harry Potter filming sites, and one of the colleges has a deer park! The plain short-ish tower you see is Saxon Tower, the oldest building in Oxford. The fan-vaulted ceiling is the inside of the Divinity School (part of Bodleian Library).Läs mer

Time for our first day trip out of London & time to see a very dear friend! She gave us a tour all around campus & her college which is Keble!! She even took me in a dining hall (so fancy and so like harry potter)!! She even joined us with punting! It’s so interesting to see a different version of College life like how the university is engrained into city or how the kids wear robes for exams! There so many other quirks to Oxford & places to explore like Harry Potter film sites & open markets! Definitely worth a visit & if you’re not as lucky as me to have friend get a walking tour or be sure have guides for different colleges that you go into!Läs mer

Our Insight tour began in London with 27 of us in the group, mainly Aussies, so a nice number.

We headed out of London and through Buckinghamshire to Oxford and saw all the university colleges, which were very impressive. Oxford means a place where you can ford your oxen across the River Thames.Läs mer

Jet-lag, what jet-lag?

Not much happening today. Rain expected, and we're readying the boat to head off on the Thames tomorrow. Did a bit of local shopping in Reading and catching up with relatives tonight.

Spotted a "Banksy" on the wall of the now disused Reading Jail once occupied by Oscar Wilde (hence the typewriter). The Banksy has been covered by perspex for protection. This, coupled with me taking the photo from a moving car, has resulted in a blurred image, sorry!Läs mer

Nach Corsham
23 juli 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Heute ging es zur nächsten Etappe unserer Reise Richtung Bath. Unsere Unterkunft ist in Corsham. Auf dem Weg haben wir in Basildon Park (Netherfield in der Hollywood Verfilmung) und in Luckington angehalten. Lotte hat von ihren Freunden eine Jane Austen Tasche bekommen, die bisher in jedem Haus dafür gesorgt hat, dass sie darauf angesprochen wurde und lange Gespräche über Jane Austen geführt hat. Heute hat sie einen Mitarbeiter des National Trust mit ihrem Wissen so beeindruckt, dass er uns quasi eine persönliche Führung gegeben hat. Anschließend haben wir noch in Luckington angehalten, wo die Kirche und das Longbourne aus der BBC Verfilmung war. Eigentlich sind wir sehr erschöpft, fahren aber vielleicht trotzdem gleich noch nach Lacock.Läs mer

Final Days in UK
11 september 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Our last day was spent at Mums. Jasin and I took a walk up Watlington Hill for a last look over Watlington.
We took Mum and James out to the Granary for lunch and then spend the afternoon packing and working (of course).
Our last Supper was at the local Indian, which is now run by Romanians. The food was delicious and we left feeling very fat!!
A 4:15 alarm woke us up and we took a local taxi to Heathrow T2. Back in business class we were ushered through and took our extra bag to leave in Bangkok! Full of some goodies to take home.
We were able to use the Lufthansa Lounge which was so relaxing before priority boarding onto Austrian Airlines- row 3. Next stop Vienna!Läs mer
